An Intergenerational Daughter/Father Comedy Sept. 6, 2018 PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN ON DISNEY CHANNEL'S 'SYDNEY TO THE MAX,' AN INTERGENERATIONAL DAUGHTER/FATHER COMEDY Production has begun on "Sydney to the Max," a daughter/father comedy series created by Emmy® Award-nominated writer, showrunner and executive producer Mark Reisman ("Frasier," "The Exes," "Wings"). The multi-camera series is scheduled to premiere in early 2019 on Disney Channel. Photo credit: Disney Channel/Ron Tom A heartwarming and sentimental comedy, "Sydney to the Max" centers around the experiences of a sociable, goodhearted middle schooler named Sydney Reynolds and her protective, doting - and sometimes clueless! - single dad Max as they navigate the challenges of growing up. Set during two timeframes, decades apart, flashback scenes to young Max and his best friend Leo in the 1990s parallel many of the funny predicaments Sydney and her BFF Olive get themselves into. VHS camcorders, bleached skater hair and other '90s-defining "relics" aside, Sydney and Max come to realize, aided by Sydney's kicky grandmother Judy, who's well-versed in Max's childhood antics, that they have more in common than either realizes. Jonas Agin, vice president, Original Series, Disney Channels, said, "With 'Sydney to the Max,' Mark Reisman has given us a series full of heart, humor and honesty. On one level, it explores the beautifully complex relationship between a girl and her father and a boy and his mother. On another level, by existing in two distinct eras, it highlights how the smallest experiences of childhood have the biggest impact on who we become – and how every generation, despite its unique challenges, is filled with the universal truth that kids will always face the same joys, fears and excitement as their parents did. We couldn't be prouder to have this as our next series on Disney Channel." Thirteen-year-old actress Ruth Righi ("School of Rock") leads the cast as title character Sydney. Adult Max is played by Ian Reed Kesler ("Suits," "Kickin' It"), while young Max is played by newcomer Jackson Dollinger ("Puppy Dog Pals"). Caroline Rhea ("Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," "Phineas and Ferb") is Ruth's grandma Judy, seen in both decades. Ruth's best friend Olive is played by Ava Kolker ("Girl Meets World"), while young Max's best friend Leo is played by Christian J. Simon ("The Amazing World of Gumball"). "Sydney to the Max" is a production of It's A Laugh Productions, Inc. *COPYRIGHT ©2018 Disney Enterprises, Inc. All photography is copyrighted material and is for editorial use only.

  • From Disney to Disaster: the Disney Corporation’S Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks
    From Disney to Disaster: The Disney Corporation’s Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks BY Kelsey N. Reese Spring 2021 WMNST 492W: Senior Capstone Seminar Dr. Jill Wood Reese 2 INTRODUCTION The popularized phrase “celebrity trainwreck” has taken off in the last ten years, and the phrase actively evokes specified images (Doyle, 2017). These images usually depict young women hounded by paparazzi cameras that are most likely drunk or high and half naked after a wild night of partying (Doyle, 2017). These girls then become the emblem of celebrity, bad girl femininity (Doyle, 2017; Kiefer, 2016). The trainwreck is always a woman and is usually subject to extra attention in the limelight (Doyle, 2017). Trainwrecks are in demand; almost everything they do becomes front page news, especially if their actions are seen as scandalous, defamatory, or insane. The exponential growth of the internet in the early 2000s created new avenues of interest in celebrity life, including that of social media, gossip blogs, online tabloids, and collections of paparazzi snapshots (Hamad & Taylor, 2015; Mercer, 2013). What resulted was 24/7 media access into the trainwreck’s life and their long line of outrageous, commiserable actions (Doyle, 2017). Kristy Fairclough coined the term trainwreck in 2008 as a way to describe young, wild female celebrities who exemplify the ‘good girl gone bad’ image (Fairclough, 2008; Goodin-Smith, 2014). While the coining of the term is rather recent, the trainwreck image itself is not; in their book titled Trainwreck, Jude Ellison Doyle postulates that the trainwreck classification dates back to feminism’s first wave with Mary Wollstonecraft (Anand, 2018; Doyle, 2017).

  • "SYDNEY to the MAX" Now in Its Third Season, Disney Channel's
    "SYDNEY TO THE MAX" Now in its third season, Disney Channel's popular daughter/father comedy "Sydney to the Max" continues to strike the perfect balance of humor and heart while showcasing hilarious adventures about friendship, family and the twists and turns of growing up. Set in the present day with flashbacks to the 1990s, the live-action comedy follows outgoing middle schooler Sydney Reynolds who lives with her single dad Max in the house he grew up in, along with her free-spirited grandmother Judy. As Sydney navigates being a teenager alongside her bestie Olive, Max's flashbacks of his childhood with his best friend Leo parallel her adventures, illustrating how life's "growing pains" evolve but don't really change. Geared for Kids 6-11 and their families, the series delivers its boldest season yet as Sydney and her friends—as well as Young Max and Leo in the 90s—embark on eighth grade. Their worlds become a bit more complex as they take on challenging and relevant issues, including struggles with cultural identity, trying to fit in, coping with divorce, and the impact of microaggressions. Other relatable stories rounding out the new season touch on the pitfalls of social media, the funny moments when dealing with your crush, and trying to bounce back from having to throw a virtual bat mitzvah get-together instead of your dream celebration. No matter the decade, there is never a dull moment in the Reynolds' household as Sydney becomes even more determined to discover and express her authentic self, and Young Max finds his stride and a hint of his future in the 90s.

  • DGA's 2014-2015 Episodic Television Diversity Report Reveals
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lily Bedrossian August 25, 2015 (310) 289-5334 DGA’s 2014-2015 Episodic Television Diversity Report Reveals: Employer Hiring of Women Directors Shows Modest Improvement; Women and Minorities Continue to be Excluded In First-Time Hiring LOS ANGELES – The Directors Guild of America today released its annual report analyzing the ethnicity and gender of directors hired to direct primetime episodic television across broadcast, basic cable, premium cable, and high budget original content series made for the Internet. More than 3,900 episodes produced in the 2014- 2015 network television season and the 2014 cable television season from more than 270 scripted series were analyzed. The breakdown of those episodes by the gender and ethnicity of directors is as follows: Women directed 16% of all episodes, an increase from 14% the prior year. Minorities (male and female) directed 18% of all episodes, representing a 1% decrease over the prior year. Positive Trends The pie is getting bigger: There were 3,910 episodes in the 2014-2015 season -- a 10% increase in total episodes over the prior season’s 3,562 episodes. With that expansion came more directing jobs for women, who directed 620 total episodes representing a 22% year-over-year growth rate (women directed 509 episodes in the prior season), more than twice the 10% growth rate of total episodes. Additionally, the total number of individual women directors employed in episodic television grew 16% to 150 (up from 129 in the 2013-14 season). The DGA’s “Best Of” list – shows that hired women and minorities to direct at least 40% of episodes – increased 16% to 57 series (from 49 series in the 2013-14 season period).

    A Message From Your . Executive Secretary At the annual Council meeting held Nov. 6, 1953, the members voted to establish a "Texas Tech Day" in order to stimulate interest in Tech. The Executive Board of the Ex-Students Association was author­ ized to set the date and make plans. The purpose of a "Tech D ay,, is to bring exes together each year for common enjoyment of tradition and heritage of Texas Technological College. The meeting will be held each year on the Saturday following the first Monday in May. The date this year falls on May 8th. Know­ ledge that thousands of exes are meeting simultaneously will add signif­ icance. We are planning to have meetings only in towns in your district that have thirty or more exes living there. As this is the first year we have attempted to hold reunions over the country simultaneously, we feel that we cannot handle all towns to begin with. On the inside back cover of this magazine is a list of the towns in your district that we hope will hold meetings this year. You can be of invaluable service in helping make our first meeting of "Texas Tech Day" a success. Will you plan now to attend the meet­ ing in your city or the city nearest .you? If you do not know the person to contact in your· district, write this office for additional information. Since a wide time span is represented by our exes, programs are being planned with the thought of holding interest for all ex-students.
