ZOOM is a fast-paced, pop-art inspired, multi-plot contemporary comedy. The film consists of three seemingly separate but ultimately interlinked storylines about a comic book artist, a novelist, and a film director. Each character lives in a separate world but authors a story about the life of another. The comic book artist, Emma, works by day at an artificial love doll factory, and is hoping to undergo a secret cosmetic procedure. Emma’s comic tells the story of Edward, a cocky film director with a debilitating secret about his anatomy. The director, Edward, creates a film that features Michelle, an aspiring novelist who escapes to Brazil and abandons her former life as a model. Michelle, pens a novel that tells the tale of Emma, who works at an artificial love doll factory… And so it goes..

Light Shadows: Loose Adaptations of Gothic Literature in American TV Series o... 1 Light Shadows: Loose Adaptations of Gothic Literature in American TV Series of the 1960s and early 1970s Dennis Tredy 1 In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, in a somewhat failed attempt to wrestle some high ratings away from the network leader CBS, ABC would produce a spate of supernatural sitcoms, soap operas and investigative dramas, adapting and borrowing heavily from major works of Gothic literature of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

  • Television a La Carte: American Broadcasting Cos
    THIS VERSION DOES NOT CONTAIN PAGE NUMBERS. PLEASE CONSULT THE PRINT OR ONLINE DATABASE VERSIONS FOR THE PROPER CITATION INFORMATION. NOTE TELEVISION A LA CARTE: AMERICAN BROADCASTING COS. V. AEREO AND HOW FEDERAL COURTS’ INTERPRETATIONS OF COPYRIGHT LAW ARE IMPACTING THE FUTURE OF THE MEDIUM Andrew Fraser I. INTRODUCTION Somewhere in Brooklyn, a large warehouse holds a bundle of over one thousand rabbit-ear antennas.1 In many ways these antennas resemble the ones that rested on top of generations of older television sets before the advent of cable, except for one small fact—these rabbit-ear antennas are each roughly the size of a dime.2 It is ironic that this ancient, seemingly outdated piece of television technology might signal the medium’s newest direction, but with Aereo at the helm, this may actually be the case. Aereo is a technology platform currently available exclusively in New York City that airs live broadcast television through the Internet to a subscriber’s mobile device, computer, or web-enabled television.3 When an Aereo subscriber wishes to watch a broadcast, he or she instructs an assigned Aereo antenna to capture signals from the public airwaves and to transmit them over the Internet to the subscriber’s mobile device.4 No two subscribers ever use the same antenna at the same time, and Aereo also offers DVR recording technology, so subscribers can watch shows live or recorded.5 With this incredible merging of both old and new technology, Aereo could have an enormous impact on the way consumers watch television, assuming that it can first survive what promise to be some intense legal challenges.
