Free from their parents’ rules, their idyllic summer quickly becomes a test of friendship as each boy learns to appreciate the fact that family - whether it is the one you’re born into or the one you create – is something you can't run away from. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION The Kings of Summer began in the imagination of writer Chris Galletta, who penned his script during his off hours while he was working in the music department of “The Late Show with David Letterman.” After some false starts in screenwriting, Galletta shunned his impulse to write a high-concept tentpole feature and craft something more character-driven and personal.

  • Listening to TV Sound Now and Later
    Theorizing TV Sound: Listening to TV Sound Now and Later Rose Bridges, University of Texas at Austin Like other forms of television and film media, Japanese anime has seen a recent increase in the trend of remakes and reboots of older, beloved franchises. Arguably this began with a desire to reboot anime based on ongoing manga (comics) once the manga finished, and the anime was able to follow its ending rather than coming up with its own. The success of series like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009-2011) and the ​ ​ second Hunter x Hunter (2011-2014) paved the way for more of these, such as Sailor ​ ​ ​ Moon Crystal (2014-2016) and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (2012-). These series have ​ ​ ​ emphasized fan desire for faithfulness to their source material, often to the point of reflecting the visual aesthetics of manga (especially in the cases of Sailor Moon or ​ ​ Jojo's). However, this trend has diversified and branched out to allow more creative ​ reboots, often from auteur directors, of longstanding franchises. The two most notable of these include recent anime television series of the Lupin III ​ franchise, and Go Nagai's frequently adapted Devilman manga series. These are the ​ ​ 2011 anime series Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine and the 2018 Devilman ​ ​ ​ Crybaby. Both are reboots that make textual (or closer-to-textual) subtextual themes ​ about gender and sexuality in the earlier works, as well as more complicated examinations of moralities. Both are the works of relatively singular directorial voices, with unique relationships to these ideas as well as visual and sonic aesthetics.

Since I was a kid I had a big passion for drawing, creating my own stories and characters and it was at the age of 15 that I began to consider a career focu- sed on visual arts and communication, that’s why a took a four years course of manga style drawing at Association ACIA (Asociación Cultural para la Investi- gación sobre Asia). Thanks to this experience I finally decided to study Animation and Visual Effects in the college Centro Universitario Incarnate Word (CIW) also located in Méxi- co City. I stand out in the Pre-Production field, I do thumbnails, storyboards, screenplays and character design; I also enjoy to do 2D animation. As for my personal style and interests, I’m strongly influenced by anime, car- toons, videogames, manga, mythology, YA books and webcomics. My work focuses a lot on suspense, horror and fiction but I always like to intro- duce real aspects on it; also I always try to promove the free expression and diversity with love and respect. I have participated as an artist and mod in various fan events and fan zines about multiple tv series, anime, manga, books and movies. Spanish is my main language, I’m fluent in English and I have basic knowledge of French.

  • The Otaku Lifestyle: Examining Soundtracks in the Anime Canon
    THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON A THESIS IN Musicology Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC by MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ B.M., University of Central Missouri, 2014 Kansas City, Missouri 2019 © 2019 MICHELLE JURKIEWICZ ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE OTAKU LIFESTYLE: EXAMINING SOUNDTRACKS IN THE ANIME CANON Michelle Jurkiewicz, Candidate for the Master of Music Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2019 ABSTRACT Japanese animation, or anime, has been popular around the globe for the last sixty years. Anime has its own fan culture in the United States known as otaku, or the obsessive lifestyle surrounding manga and anime, which has resulted in American production companies creating their own “anime.” Japanese filmmakers do not regard anime simply as a cartoon, but instead realize it as genre of film, such as action or comedy. However, Japanese anime is not only dynamic and influential because of its storylines, characters, and themes, but also for its purposeful choices in music. Since the first anime Astro Boy and through films such as Akira, Japanese animation companies combine their history from the past century with modern or “westernized” music. Unlike cartoon films produced by Disney or Pixar, Japanese anime do not use music to mimic the actions on-screen; instead, music heightens and deepens the plot and emotions. This concept is practiced in live-action feature films, and although anime consists of hand-drawn and computer-generated cartoons, Japanese directors and animators create a “film” experience with their dramatic choice of music.
