What Ninety-Nines Can Do To Help Aviation Education Aviation and education have al­ ways been clcsely dependent; today they are inseparable. We wouldn’t think of aviation without education— but we are slower in bringing our thinking around to the point of not having education v/ith aviation. —~r~ How are we to show children and parents and teachers the great re­ wards that lie ahead in aviation and scores of inter-related fields? By find­ ing answers to this question, we will challenge them< to take up the adven­ ture of man’s new frontier, the sky. Three steps which will help to show our young people the great rewards, should be apparent to all of us, for they are topics of national concern and we must make these matters of personal concern, as well. 1. The first of these is a new and vigorous effort to identify and moti­ vate young people of talent at the high school level in ALL areas of study, in PANEL MEMBERS of the discussion on “ The Effect of the Jet Age on ALL talents, not just science and General Aviation,” left to right: James B.

  • The Complexities of Latina Sexuality on Ugly Betty Tanya González
    IS UGLY THE NEW SEXY? The Complexities of Latina Sexuality on Ugly Betty Tanya González ABC’s Emmy and Golden Globe winning television show Ugly Betty stars America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, an intelligent Mexican American executive assistant who lives in Queens, New York, but works at Mode in Manhattan. An adaptation from the Colombian telenovela,Yo soy, Betty la fea, this television show works on a fairy tale premise: the ugly protagonist with a heart of gold will eventually obtain happiness by virtue of her goodness. However, Ugly Betty offers a protagonist with multiple love interests, constantly involving her in a variety of love triangles, begging the question, “Is ugly the new sexy?” The following analysis of Betty as a sexual subject demonstrates that Ugly Betty, within the limits of Hollywood representation, offers complex subjects instead of one-dimensional types. The show’s use of a Latino camp aesthetic continually introduces elements, like Betty’s sexuality, that push the limits of how we perceive Latinas/os on television and in everyday life. As a result, Ugly Betty surprisingly illustrates Chicana/o and Latina/o feminist theories about identity construction. ABC’s Emmy and Golden Globe winning television show Ugly Betty is a global iteration of the Colombian telenovela1 phenomenon Yo soy, Betty la fea (1999-2001). Ugly Betty, which premiered Fall 2006 and will end Spring 2010, stars America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, an intelligent, sweet, perky young Latina2 who lives in Queens, but works at Mode, a fictional representation of Vogue magazine. As the title suggests, people perceive Betty as ugly because she is not model-skinny; wears glasses, braces, and bangs; and has poor fashion sense.

  • 07-12-2021 WIF and the Sundance Institute Financing
    July 12, 2021 Media Contacts: Spencer Alcorn [email protected] Women’s Financing Intensive, from WIF (Women In Film, Los Angeles) & Sundance Institute, Elevates Twelve Feature Projects with Tailored Support Intensive equips filmmakers with financing strategies and introduces them to leading financiers. LOS ANGELES - The Sundance Institute and WIF (Women In Film, Los Angeles) today announce the projects and creators selected for the annual WIF and Sundance Institute Financing Intensive. The Intensive is designed to help women producers—fiction and documentary—build the skills and relationships necessary to advance a feature-length project to the next stage of financing success. On July 14–15, producers and their attached directors participate in small group workshops focused on both pitching and financing strategy, and professional skills development. The Intensive continues the week of July 19 with one-on-one meetings with potential financiers and partners including The Harnisch Foundation, IDA, Impact Partners, Participant, Freeform, Hulu, Gamechanger, Chicken & Egg Pictures, K Period. The Intensive will first kick off with a free public session on July 13 at 2pm – 3:15pm ET, Protecting Producers, that will explore fresh ideas in producer career sustainability. The conversation will take place on Sundance Co//ab and include: Carrie Lozano (Director, Sundance Documentary Film Program and Artist Programs), Yael Melamede (Documentary Producers Alliance), producer Summer Shelton, and Avril Speaks (Producers Union). The Institute and WIF have been working together to address the most challenging obstacles facing women filmmakers at both structural and project-based levels. Accessing capital remains elusive even for seasoned creators, and research by both institutions has shown that women continue to deal with particular gendered biases that make it harder to secure financing.

  • HBO Leads 60Th Primetime Emmys 30 Rock, Mad Men Take Top Series September 21, 2008
    HBO Leads 60th Primetime Emmys 30 Rock, Mad Men Take Top Series September 21, 2008 A 1960s advertising agency, a fictional sketch-comedy show and the second president of the United States were among the big winners at the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards. Among the twenty-eight awards handed out over the course of the Television Academy’s diamond anniversary event, which was telecast live on ABC, HBO topped the night with 10 winged statuettes. NBC followed with four. Combined with its awards at last Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, HBO led for the year as well, with 26 in all. Leading the recipients of multiple awards between the two awards ceremonies was HBO’s seven-part historical miniseries John Adams, with 13 Emmys, surpassing a miniseries record set by another HBO production, Angels in America, which won 11 in 2004, and ABC’s Eleanor and Franklin, which won 11 in 1976. It was an evening of milestones and memories. Among the September 21 ceremony’s firsts: the Primetime Emmys’ debut in their new venue, NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE, in downtown Los Angeles. In another landmark, 2008 was the first time an Emmy was awarded for outstanding host for a reality or reality-competition program. The five nominees, Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars), Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal), Jeff Probst (Survivor) and Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) — commemorated the new category by hosting the festivities. In addition, a new record was set for consecutive wins in a single category when Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart prevailed as outstanding variety, music or comedy series and CBS’s The Amazing Race was named outstanding reality-competition program.

  • This Is the Us Master Pilot Scablist the Unionist's Edition
    THIS IS THE US MASTER PILOT SCABLIST THE UNIONIST’S EDITION A SCAB is A Person Who is Doing What You’d be Doing if You Weren’t on Strike. A SCAB takes your job, a Job he could not get under normal circumstances. He can only advance himself by taking advantage of labor disputes and walking over the backs of workers trying to maintain decent wages and working conditions. He helps management to destroy his and your profession, often ending up under conditions he/she wouldn't even have scabbed for. No matter. A SCAB doesn't think long term, nor does he think of anything other then himself. His smile shows fangs that drip with your blood, for he willingly destroys families, lives, careers, opportunities and professions at the drop of a hat. He takes from a striker what he knows he could never earn by his own merit: a decent Job. He steals that which others earned at the bargaining table through blood, sweat and tears, and throws it away in an instant - ruining lives, jobs and careers. ONCE A SCAB, ALWAYS A SCAB - NEVER FORGET! Below are brief notes about legal strikes by organized pilots. 1. Century Airlines 1932: Pilots struck to resist wage reduction by E.L Cord, the patron saint of Frank Lorenzo. 2. TWA 1946: Pilots struck over pay on faster 4 engine aircraft, limited by the provisions of Decision 83. 3. National Airlines 1948: Strike over aircraft safety and repeated violations of the labor contract. 4. Western Airlines 1958: Qualifications of the Flight Engineer.

Sunset Blvd. CREDITS: 12th Floor Research Analysts: Hollywood, CA 90028 Adrian McDonald Corina Sandru Graphic Design: http://www.filmla.com/ Shane Hirschman @FilmLA Photography: FilmLA Shutterstock FilmLAinc TABLE OF CONTENTS WHAT’S A PILOT? 3 GROWTH OF DIGITAL PILOTS 4 DRAMA PILOTS 5 COMEDY PILOTS 6 TOP PILOT PRODUCTION LOCATIONS 7 THE MAINSTREAMING OF “STRAIGHT-TO-SERIES” PRODUCTION 8 PILOTS’ ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE 10 THE CURRENT DRAMA LANDSCAPE IN CALIFORNIA 11 CONCLUSION 13 Each year between January and April, Los Angeles residents observe a marked increase in local on-location filming. New television pilots, produced in anticipation of May screenings for television advertisers, join continuing TV series, feature films and commercial projects in competition for talent, crews, stage space and sought-after locations. However, Los Angeles isn’t the only place in North America hosting pilot production. Other jurisdictions, most notably New York and the Canadian city of Vancouver have established themselves as strong competitors for this lucrative part of Hollywood’s business tradition. Below these top competitors is a second-tier of somewhat smaller players in Georgia and Ontario, Canada—home to Toronto. FilmL.A.’s official count shows that 201 broadcast, cable and digital pilots (123 Dramas, 78 Comedies) were produced during the 2015-16 development cycle, one less than the prior year and the third straight year in which more than 200 pilots were produced. Out of those 201 pilots, 79 projects (25 Dramas, 54 Comedies) were filmed in the Los Angeles region. This represents a 13 percent drop from last year, when 91 pilot projects filmed here and it is also the lowest number of pilots in the last six years that were produced in the region.
