    MoMA | press | Releases | 2001 | Discussion on The Sopranos Page 1 of 3 For Immediate Release February 2001 THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART HOSTS DISCUSSION ON THE SOPRANOS Discussion with David Chase and media writer Ken Auletta February 12, 2001 The Sopranos February 3-13, 2001 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1 The Museum of Modern Art presents a discussion of the HBO series The Sopranos with the series writer/director David Chase and noted media writer and author Ken Auletta, February 12, 2001 at 6:00 p.m. at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. Recording the domestic dramas and business anxieties of family living the bourgeois life in a pleasant New Jersey suburb, The Sopranos is a saga of middle-class life in America at the turn of the century. Chronicled in twenty-six hour-long episodes, the first two seasons from the series will be shown in two four-day sequences at The Museum of Modern Art, from February 3-13 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "The Sopranos is a cynical yet deeply felt look at this particular family man," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the program. "David Chase and his team have created a series distinguished by its bone-dry humor and understated, quirky, and stinging perspective - not usually seen on television." Renowned for his savvy profiles of power players in the media, Ken Auletta will join David Chase for a discussion of The Sopranos at The Museum on February 12. The Department of Film and Video gratefully acknowledges HBO for making the series available for public viewing.

  • WRITING for EPISODIC TV from Freelance to Showrunner
    WRITING FOR EPISODIC TV From Freelance to Showrunner Written by: Al Jean Brad Kern Jeff Melvoin Pamela Pettler Dawn Prestwich Pam Veasey John Wirth Nicole Yorkin Additional Contributions by: Henry Bromell, Mitch Burgess, Carlton Cuse, Robin Green, Barbara Hall, Al Jean, Amy Lippman, Dan O’Shannon, Phil Rosenthal, Joel Surnow, John Wells, Lydia Woodward Edited by: John Wirth Jeff Melvoin i Introduction: Writing for Episodic Television – A User’s Guide In the not so distant past, episodic television writers worked their way up through the ranks, slowly in most cases, learning the ropes from their more-experienced colleagues. Those days are gone, and while their passing has ushered in a new age of unprecedented mobility and power for television writers, the transition has also spelled the end of both a traditional means of education and a certain culture in which that education was transmitted. The purpose of this booklet is twofold: first, to convey some of the culture of working on staff by providing informal job descrip- tions, a sense of general expectations, and practical working tips; second, to render relevant WGA rules into reader-friendly lan- guage for staff writers and executive producers. The material is organized into four chapters by job level: FREE- LANCER, STAFF WRITER/STORY EDITOR, WRITER-PRODUCER, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER. For our purposes, executive producer and showrunner are used interchangeably, although this is not always the case. Various appendices follow, including pertinent sections of the WGA Minimum Basic Agreement (MBA). As this is a booklet, not a book, it does not make many distinc- tions among the different genres found in episodic television (half- hour, animation, primetime, cable, first-run syndication, and so forth).

  • Annual Report NEW.Indd
    Foundation Annual Report 2009–2010 | Investing in Possibilities Letter from the Foundation President and College President AT COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF PHILADELPHIA, we are deeply committed to investing in the future. We know our students are making a signifi cant investment in themselves, often as the very fi rst members of their families to study at the postsecondary level. They invest their time, money and effort in higher education to upgrade their skills, to begin their journey toward a bachelor’s degree or to benefi t from the increased earning power that comes with completing an associate’s degree. At the same time, the College invests in our students on a number of levels, such as hiring top quality faculty, refi ning our curriculum and providing hundreds of much-needed scholarships each year. Scholarship support of Community College of Philadelphia is an exceptional investment. Because the College keeps tuition costs competitive, each scholarship dollar goes far, yielding more return than it would at a private university. Perhaps the most exciting investment that is currently under way at the College is Expanding Possibilities — our fi rst-ever fundraising campaign with the largest and most ambitious goal in our history. We are seeking $10 million in public and private support to help realize our plans and meet the $85 million cost of expand- ing our facilities, scholarship offerings and programs. Please take a moment to look through these pages and get to know our students. We hope you also will help us celebrate those individuals, corporations, and community and government organizations who invest in the future with us through their support of the College.

  • Applying a Rhizomatic Lens to Television Genres
    A THOUSAND TV SHOWS: APPLYING A RHIZOMATIC LENS TO TELEVISION GENRES _______________________________________ A Dissertation presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia _______________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy _____________________________________________________ by NETTIE BROCK Dr. Ben Warner, Dissertation Supervisor May 2018 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the Dissertation entitled A Thousand TV Shows: Applying A Rhizomatic Lens To Television Genres presented by Nettie Brock A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. ________________________________________________________ Ben Warner ________________________________________________________ Elizabeth Behm-Morawitz ________________________________________________________ Stephen Klien ________________________________________________________ Cristina Mislan ________________________________________________________ Julie Elman ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Someone recently asked me what High School Nettie would think about having written a 300+ page document about television shows. I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

    THE INTERSECTION OF GENDER AND ITALIAN/AMERICANESS: HEGEMONY IN THE SOPRANOS by Niki Caputo Wilson A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL December 2010 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have completed this dissertation without the guidance of my committee members, the help from my friends and colleagues, and the support of my family. I extend my deepest gratitude to my committee chair Dr. Jane Caputi for her patience, guidance, and encouragement. You are truly an inspiration. I would like to thank my committee members as well. Dr. Christine Scodari has been tireless in her willingness to read and comment on my writing, each time providing me with insightful recommendations. I am indebted to Dr Art Evans, whose vast knowledge of both The Sopranos and ethnicity provided an invaluable resource. Friends, family members, and UCEW staff have provided much needed motivation, as well as critiques of my work; in particular, I thank Marc Fedderman, Rebecca Kuhn, my Aunt Nancy Mitchell, and my mom, Janie Caputo. I want to thank my dad, Randy Caputo, and brother, Sean Caputo, who are always there to offer their help and support. My tennis friends Kathy Fernandes, Lise Orr, Rachel Kuncman, and Nicola Snoep were instrumental in giving me an escape from my writing. Mike Orr of Minuteman Press and Stefanie Gapinski of WriteRight helped me immensely—thank you! Above all, I thank my husband, Mike Wilson, and my children, Madi and Cole Wilson, who have provided me with unconditional love and support throughout this process.
