  • Political Entertainment Media and the Elaboration Likelihood Model
    Political Entertainment Media and the Elaboration Likelihood Model: A Focus on the Roles of Motivation and Ability Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Heather Lyn LaMarre, MPA, MA Graduate Program in Communication The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: R. Lance Holbert, Advisor David Ewoldsen Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick Michael McCluskey Copyright by Heather Lyn LaMarre 2009 Abstract This dissertation extends the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) to the study of political communication. In particular, the project focuses on the role of ability and motivation, relative to contact with a variety of political entertainment media messages, on cognitive elaborations. Two studies were conducted to examine these political entertainment processes and effects. The first study was a 2 (ability: low, high) x 2 (media stimuli: The Daily Show, Anderson Cooper 360o) between-subjects design that examined individual-level cognitive elaboration and attitudes about the AIG executive bonus scandal involving government bailout funds. The second study was a 2 (motivation: high, low) x 2 (media stimuli: Sicko, Sicko and An American Carol) between-subjects design that examined individual-level cognitive elaboration and attitudes concerning nationalized healthcare. Results replicated traditional ELM findings. Ability and motivation had direct effects on individual-level elaboration. The main effects of ability and motivation were also found for issue-relevant and positively valenced thoughts. Message directly influenced individual-level elaborations, including total and issue-relevant thoughts. Additionally, interactions between message and ability were found for source credibility, counter-arguments, and media engagement.

LONG SUMMARY Molly Shannon plays Emily Dickinson in the dramatic comedy "​ Wild Nights with Emily​." The poet’s persona, popularized since her death, became that of a reclusive spinster – a delicate wallflower, too sensitive for this world. This film explores her vivacious, irreverent side that was covered up for years — most notably Emily’s lifelong romantic relationship with another woman (Susan Ziegler). After Emily died, a rivalry emerged when her brother's mistress (Amy Seimetz) along with editor T.W.

  • Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) PAUL SPARKS
    Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) Riley Keough, 26, is one of Hollywood’s rising stars. At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012. Riley’s talents landed her a title-lead as Jack in Bradley Rust Gray’s werewolf flick Jack and Diane. She also appeared alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which grossed nearly $167 million worldwide. Further in 2011, she completed work on director Nick Cassavetes’ film Yellow, starring alongside Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liota, as well as the Xan Cassavetes film Kiss of the Damned. As her camera talent evolves alongside her creative growth, so do the roles she is meant to play. Recently, she was the lead in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of director George Miller’s cult- classic Mad Max - Mad Max: Fury Road alongside a distinguished cast comprising of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Nick Hoult.

    All That She Surveys Directed by Gary Mairs Written by James Benning Starring Amy Seimetz OFFICIAL SELECTION, COURTISANE FESTIVAL (GHENT, BELGIUM) 2012 OFFICIAL SELECTION, LUME INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (SÃO LUÍS DO MARANHÃO, BRAZIL) 2012 OFFICIAL SELECTION, DOWNTOWN FILM FESTIVAL LOS ANGELES 2012 OFFICIAL SELECTION, ZINEBI 54 - INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF DOCUMENTARY AND SHORT FILM BILBAO NOVEMBER 2012 Screened in LIGHT AND SOUND MACHINE series, THIRD MAN RECORDS, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE MAY 2013 SYNOPSIS All That She Surveys is about a woman who likes to watch. It is the third film in a series of five interconnected shorts, all directed by Gary Mairs and starring Amy Seimetz or David Nordstrom and written by different screenwriters. Each film is stylistically unique and when screened together, they form a feature length narrative. The first is Say It (2008), written by Theron Patterson (Dark Cloud, 2010 Toronto International Film Festival) and the second is The Hemingway Night (2009), written by Tom Block. Production begins on the fourth film in June 2012. The Hemingway Night premiered at the 2009 Palm Springs International Shortsfest. All That She Surveys premiered at the 2012 International Film Festival Rotterdam. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT When I say that I’m not at all sure what All That She Surveys means, I’m not being disingenuous: the film remains fundamentally mysterious to me. When James Benning approached me with the idea for the film, he related it as a series of five short episodes in a young woman’s day. There was less a sense of a story being told than of fragments of time, some events with no overarching psychological significance, an attempt to show the experience of looking and listening.
