Macciomei: Co-optation of the American Dream Independent cinema has been an aspect of the American film industry since the inception of the art form itself. The aspects and perceptions of independent film have altered drastically over the years, but in general it can be used to describe American films produced and distributed outside of the Hollywood major studio system. But as American film history has revealed time and time again, independent studios always struggle to maintain their freedom from the Hollywood industrial complex. American independent cinema has been heavily integrated with major Hollywood studios who have attempted to tap into the niche markets present in filmgoers searching for theatrical experiences outside of the mainstream. From this, we can say that the American independent film industry has a long history of co-optation, acquisition, and the stifling of competition from the major film studios present in Hollywood, all of whom pose a threat to the autonomy that is sought after in these markets by filmmakers and film audiences.

  • Female Investors Make a Bid for the Weinstein Company
    Case Study Female Investors Make a Bid for The Weinstein Company Thought Leadership and Advocacy PR The Challenge: After disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein was ousted from his company, Maria Contreras- Sweet, a former cabinet official and head of the Small Business Administration under President Barack Obama, assembled a majority-female team of Hollywood heavyweights to make a bid for The Weinstein Company and rebrand it as a place that was welcoming to, and supportive of, women. TASC was brought on to generate excitement around the deal and cultivate support for it. Our Strategy: TASC capitalized on the momentum of the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements, and made Contreras- Sweet and her team a symbol of hope and progress in the film industry’s treatment of women. TASC managed a huge volume of media requests for Contreras-Sweet and strategically released information on the deal to garner community interest and support from key decision makers. Several other groups were also in the running to secure a deal, and many details of negotiations could not be made public. TASC worked to ensure that outlets were accurately reporting on the details of Contreras-Sweet’s deal, the only one to save jobs, create a female-majority board of directors and create a $90 million compensation fund for Weinstein’s victims. Results: Our work generated hundreds of media placements in national outlets including Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, ABC News, CNBC, Yahoo! Finance, CNN Money, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, Refinery29 and dozens more, which turned the tide in Contreras-Sweet’s favor with The Weinstein Company’s board of directors.

  • Project Runway Contestant to Design Exclusive Dress for Macy's
    October 6, 2009 Project Runway Contestant to Design Exclusive Dress for Macy's INC Dress to Be Available in Select Macy's Stores in December NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As cameras rolled on Lifetime's Project Runway last week, up-and-coming designer Irina Shabayeva won the challenge of a lifetime. The 27- year-old New Yorker has been granted the opportunity to design a holiday dress for Macy's INC International Concepts brand. "We are happy to partner with Macy's to present our designers with a challenge that gives them a taste of the real world aspects of the fashion industry. This week's challenge allowed Irina the opportunity to have one of her designs sold by a major retailer and Project Runway fans will now have the chance to purchase the exclusive party dress this holiday season," said Lance Still, Executive Vice President of Promotions and Integrated Marketing for The Weinstein Company. Part of Macy's participation in Project Runway Season 6 was to create a challenge that would be judged by Martine Reardon, Executive Vice President Macy's Inc. "It is tremendous to see what these young and talented designers can do in a very short time and with such imagination. Irina's fresh take on fashion is the ideal fit for our INC brand," said Reardon. "Our customer will love her ultra-feminine aesthetic." Given all the resources of a top designer, Irina's holiday dress is a contemporary take on the little black dress. Made of rayon matte jersey, the butterfly-embellished dress will be available in sizes small through x-large, retailing for $139.00.

  • Unpopular Culture and Explore Its Critical Possibilities and Ramifications from a Large Variety of Perspectives
    15 mm front 153 mm 8 mm 19,9 mm 8 mm front 153 mm 15 mm 15 mm TELEVISUAL CULTURE TELEVISUAL CULTURE This collection includes eighteen essays that introduce the concept of Lüthe and Pöhlmann (eds) unpopular culture and explore its critical possibilities and ramifications from a large variety of perspectives. Proposing a third term that operates beyond the dichotomy of high culture and mass culture and yet offers a fresh approach to both, these essays address a multitude of different topics that can all be classified as unpopular culture. From David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to Zane Grey, from Christian rock and country to clack cetal, from Steven Seagal to Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge, from K-pop to The Real Housewives, from natural disasters to 9/11, from thesis hatements to professional sports, these essays find the unpopular across media and genres, and they analyze the politics and the aesthetics of an unpopular culture (and the unpopular in culture) that has not been duly recognized as such by the theories and methods of cultural studies. Martin Lüthe is an associate professor in North American Cultural Studies at the John F. Kennedy-Institute at Freie Universität Berlin. Unpopular Culture Sascha Pöhlmann is an associate professor in American Literary History at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich. 240 mm Martin Lüthe and Sascha Pöhlmann (eds) Unpopular Culture ISBN: 978-90-8964-966-9 AUP.nl 9 789089 649669 15 mm Unpopular Culture Televisual Culture The ‘televisual’ names a media culture generally in which television’s multiple dimensions have shaped and continue to alter the coordinates through which we understand, theorize, intervene, and challenge contemporary media culture.

    CLASS ACTIVITIES* Class 1 January 10 Introduction Students should introduce themselves / name one thing they are hoping to learn from this class Should the law interfere when it comes to our sexual behaviour? Why? Why not? Are there sexual behaviours that should be criminalised but are not? Are there sexual behaviours that are not criminalised, but should be? Class 2 January 17 Discussion Questions Read and analyze the article “Should you ask someone permission to kiss them” and discuss the following questions. Should you ask someone's permission to kiss them? BBC 16 June 2014 Over recent months, there's been a string of headlines about "inappropriate" sexual behaviour and 1 when it tips over into being unlawful. Where are the lines of consent, asks Jo Fidgen. Should you ask someone's permission to kiss them? To many it seems the rules around relationships are changing, and the consequences of getting things wrong can be serious. At the trial of Conservative MP Nigel Evans earlier this year, the court was told that he had tried to kiss someone, been rebuffed, and had backed off. This was regarded by the Crown Prosecution Service as potentially criminal. Evans was acquitted. But the case prompted the question of where we draw the line between a clumsy pass and a sexual offence. The politics of kissing has been on the mind of 29-year-old Evening Standard journalist Rosamund Urwin, who regularly writes about gender relations. "I've been talking about this with friends recently and whether people should say, 'Is it okay if I kiss you now?' and actually I think it's really sweet because what you're saying is, 'I don't want to do something that would upset you'." Some might see that approach as old-fashioned, but harking back to previous values may tackle modern dilemmas over consent.
