Exporting Canadian Feature Films in Global Markets TRENDS, OPPORTUNITIES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS MARIA DE ROSA | MARILYN BURGESS COMMUNICATIONS MDR (A DIVISION OF NORIBCO INC.)

The following report solely reflects the views of the authors. Findings, conclusions or recom- mendations expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the funders of this report, who are in no way bound by any recommendations con- tained herein. 2 EXPORTING CANADIAN FEATURE FILMS IN GLOBAL MARKETS Executive Summary Goals of the Study The goals of this study were three-fold: 1.

Netflix What College Students Tell Us Regarding Their Attitudes Towards Netflix: A Focus Group Report Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California Methods and Introduction Netflix is an online instant streaming service that also provides a mail DVD service. Founded in 1997 by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings, the company has grown as one of the largest global entertainment distribution services. Netflix now partners with many consumer electronics companies to offer streaming services on various Internet-connected devices, such as tablets and smartphones, and has recently introduced their own exclusive content. The objective of the Netflix focus group was to find Netflix’s overall reputation and performance from the perspective of college students. The focus group method was chosen in order to better gauge how college-aged customers felt about Netflix. The open-ended exploration of focus group research allowed us to explore student’s thoughts about Netflix through both positive and negative perspectives. Students from the University of Southern California (USC) were invited to discuss their opinions, comments and suggestions regarding the service. The focus group offered an up-close look at the participants’ experiences, attitudes, behaviors and language in relation to Netflix. Convenience sampling was used to gain participants. This allowed us to conduct our focus group in a timely matter for our clients. The casual setting of the focus group helped urge the participants to be completely honest and forthcoming with their responses. The focus group method gave access to a large number of participants at one time. One focus group with nine USC students was conducted.

Living Entanglements and the Ecological Thought in the Works Of
LIVING ENTANGLEMENTS AND THE ECOLOGICAL THOUGHT IN THE WORKS OF PAUL KINGSNORTH, TOM MCCARTHY, AND ALI SMITH By Garrett Joseph Peace James J. Arnett Andrew D. McCarthy Associate Professor of English Associate Professor of English (Chair) (Committee Member) Heather M. Palmer Associate Professor of English (Committee Member) LIVING ENTANGLEMENTS AND THE ECOLOGICAL THOUGHT IN THE WORKS OF PAUL KINGSNORTH, TOM MCCARTHY, AND ALI SMITH By Garrett Joseph Peace A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master of Arts: English The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee May 2021 ii ABSTRACT In my thesis, I use the work of Donna Haraway, Timothy Morton, Karen Barad, and Anna Tsing to explore how three contemporary British novelists—Paul Kingsnorth, Tom McCarthy, and Ali Smith—deal with the representational and ethical challenges of writing about nature and climate change within the Anthropocene. The question of how to live and write now is a prominent thread in all their works, which show, in both form and content, the entanglements of ecology, materiality, locality, nationality, and personal identity. In doing so, their stories enable readers to engage with what Morton calls the “ecological thought,” i.e. “a practice and process of becoming fully aware of how human beings are connected with other beings,” and provoke us, as Haraway puts it, “to be truly present . as mortal critters entwined in myriad unfinished configurations of places, times, matters, meanings.” iii DEDICATION For my parents, Robin and James. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As many of the writers present in these pages show us, to be human is to exist in a state of interconnection.
