  • From the Workshop of JJ Abrams
    CHAPTER SIX From the Workshop of J. J. Abrams: Bad Robot, Networked Collaboration, and Promotional Authorship Leora Hadas University of Nottingham Whether ‘New golden age’ (Leopold, 2013) or ‘Peak TV’ (Paskin, 2015) – whatever glowing accolades cultural commentators now choose to use, all describe television in the United States as going from strength to strength. For a sustained number of years now, critics and popular opinion alike has celebrated a qualitative transformation in the output of an industry that has struggled for years to shed the image of a ‘vast wasteland’ (Minow, 1961). In critical and academic circles alike, credit for these exciting developments and the transformation of US television has tended to focus on a specific feature of the contemporary industry: the figure of the showrunner, television’s new auteur (Martin, 2013). The emergence of the showrunner-as-auteur has provided US television with a crucial source of cultural legitimacy, one traceable back to Bourdieu’s concept of the ‘“charisma” ideology’ (1980, p. 262) at work in judgements of artistic value. Shyon Baumann (2007) has analysed how film found legitimation as How to cite this book chapter: Hadas, L. 2017. From the Workshop of J. J.

  • The New Mexico Film Office Announces Amblin Partners' "Bios" Wrapped Filming in New Mexico
    Michelle Lujan Grisham Governor Alicia J. Keyes Cabinet Secretary Todd Christensen Director FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Bruce Krasnow May 21, 2019 (505) 827-0226, cell: (505) 795-0119 [email protected] The New Mexico Film Office Announces Amblin Partners' "Bios" wrapped filming in New Mexico Santa Fe, N.M. – New Mexico Film Office Director Todd Christensen announced that the live-action film “Bios” produced by Amblin Partners, has concluded principal photography at locations across New Mexico. The production employed approximately 125 New Mexico crew members, 7 New Mexico actors and some 400 background extras. ​ “I'm always thrilled when a major production is able to use so much of New Mexico's diverse landscape and shoot in so many different locations," Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said. "As we boost our film and television industry, we are going to see more productions choosing to shoot outside the Santa Fe- Albuquerque corridor. That means more job opportunities for New Mexicans in rural areas.” As part of her commitment to film and television production in New Mexico, Gov. Lujan Grisham visited the set of "Bios" earlier this month. There, she met with local crew, producers and actors, including Tom Hanks. New Mexico Cabinet Secretary Alicia J. Keyes of the Economic Development Department said there is significant interest in New Mexico from the film and television industry as producers and studios learn about the generous incentives, experienced crews and scenic locations. “Our phones are ringing,” said Keyes. “The industry is looking for stable, high- quality partnerships and New Mexico can do it all.
