A founding partner of Trilogy Entertainment Group, Densham made his network television producing debut with the series “Space Rangers,” which he created and executive produced for CBS. He also engineered the rebirth of the highly successful, multiple award-winning “The Outer Limits” television series, which recently completed its seventh season.

Trilogy also produced the hit “Backdraft,” starring Kurt Russell and Robert DeNiro, and “Moll Flanders,” starring Robin Wright and Morgan Freeman, which Densham directed from his own screenplay. Along with his partners, Densham also produced “Blown Away,” starring Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones, “Tank Girl” and “Larger Than Life.” Most recently, he and Watson also served as executive producers on “The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys,” starring Jodie Foster.

HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

By Angela Baldassarre
by Angela Baldassarre Karen Walton had had her fill of weekend workshop solutions to her professional writing problems. A radio—drama writer for years, the Alberta native was ready to enhance her skills as a screenwriter in order to find full—time work in the film and television industry. Her only hope seemed to be that of getting into the Canadian Film Centre's Resident Program. "I knew it would be perfect for me because the Centre is a full—time commitment," says Walton. "You commit to the residency, to your professional development. It's not like going to a festival and listening to someone speak for two hours and hoping you can take that information home and apply it to your work. The Centre is full—time hands—on practical and you're working, most importantly, with your own material. They're focusing all of their instruction and guidance and development through your own work so it's not a hypothetical conversation. It's a literal, practical conversation." Film Centre graduate John Greyson directing Zero Patience. Indeed. Divided into the Writers' Lab, which is part of the core Residents Program, and the Professional could learn from that, but what happened feature—film project development, story Screenwriting Program, an intense three was that it made everybody feel that ideas, creative collaboration and month program (from January to March directing was the only avenue in which production, the Residents Program has each year) open to professional you could actually get your stories on gone through numerous changes since the screenwriters who wish to hone their skills screen.
