In the Days of Coronado
Dear reader, the first novel of this series is titled OHIO. And, maybe you are on your computer right now, trying to decide whether or not to purchase it. Maybe you are in a bookstore and holding it in your hands; you have studied its cover, you've already read the opening lines, and you've flipped to the middle and read something there. Maybe you have read the last paragraph. Maybe you have done the same with all three novels. Dear reader, the novels are not for you, unless you possess the desire to listen with all your heart to the words you will find in them. If this desire is yours, I, Jonathan Kensett, welcome you into a world I could not have known if I had not listened with all my hea...
The British Television Pilot Episodes Research Guide 1936-2015
A new idea can become an expensive flop for TV executives. So from the earliest days of television, the concept of a pilot episode seemed like a good idea. Trying out new actors; new situations and new concepts before making a series was good economical sense. It was also tax deductible. Sometimes these pilots were shown on television; sometimes they were so awful they were hidden from sight in archives; and sometimes they were excellent one-offs, but a series seemed elusive and never materialised. Chris Perry has always been fascinated by the pilot episode. So many pilots are made annually, but never seen by audiences. Only a handful appear on screen. It's a hidden world of comedy, variety, drama and factual programming. This volume attempts to lift the lid on the world of the TV pilot by revealing the many transmitted and untransmitted episodes made through the decades.
Experimenting with Emerging Media Platforms
Experimenting with Emerging Media Platforms teaches students in media tracks – journalism, advertising, film, and public relations – how to independently field test and evaluate emerging technologies that could impact how media is produced, consumed, and monetized in the future. Taking a unique trial-and-error approach, the author encourages students to go against their desire for perfection and instead plunge into exercises with the full expectation that they will "fail" many times before they succeed. Through focused assignments, this book provides pointers on how to familiarize oneself with current technology, including extended reality (XR, VR, AR, and MR), open-source coding, photog...

The Audition Room
The aim of this book is to offer advice and tips to working actors, and new graduates alike, on ways in which they can improve upon their position or get started on their chosen path. There is pragmatic guidance to aid actors to get into the audition room itself then, once in those fateful auditions, how to make the most of the allotted time. The text is filled with practical and sage words of wisdom from a number of renowned industry professionals – actors, directors, casting directors, radio producers, voice artists, authors and acting coaches. Actors should treat this book as a helpful insider within the audition room, someone who wants to help them with their chosen career. They are an important aspect of the theatre industry, but have to keep on their toes because there are always another hundred actors, or more, stood behind just as hungry for work, if not hungrier!
Celluloid Vampires
In 1896, French magician and filmmaker George Méliès brought forth the first celluloid vampire in his film Le manoir du diable. The vampire continues to be one of film's most popular gothic monsters and in fact, today more people become acquainted with the vampire through film than through literature, such as Bram Stoker's classic Dracula. How has this long legacy of celluloid vampires affected our understanding of vampire mythology? And how has the vampire morphed from its folkloric and literary origins? In this entertaining and absorbing work, Stacey Abbott challenges the conventional interpretation of vampire mythology and argues that the medium of film has completely reinvented the vam...
Outside In
Libby Davies has worked steadfastly for social justice both inside parliament and out on the streets for more than four decades. At nine-teen, Davies became a community organizer in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. She went on to serve in municipal and then federal politics, advancing to the role of Deputy Leader of the New Democratic Party. Davies looks back on her remarkable life and career with candid humour and heart-rending honesty. She addresses the challenges of her work on homelessness, sex workers’ rights, and ending drug prohibition. She illuminates the human strengths and foibles at the core of each issue, her own as well as those of her colleagues and activist allies. Davies’ astute political analysis offers an insider’s perspective that never loses touch with the people she fights alongside. Outside In is both a political and personal memoir of Davies’ forty years of work at the intersection of politics and social movements.
The Forgotten Film Adaptations of D.H. Lawrence’s Short Stories
This book looks beyond fidelity to emphasize how each adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s short stories functions as a creative response to a text, foregrounding the significance of its fluidity, transtextuality, and genre. The adaptations analysed range from the first to the most recent and draw attention to the fluidity of textual sources, the significance of generic conventions and space in film, the generic potentialities latent within Lawrence’s tales, and the evolving nature of adaptation. By engaging with recent advances in adaptation theory to discuss the evolving critical reception of the author’s work and the role of the reader, this book provides a fresh, forward-looking approach to Lawrence studies.
