PLATFORMS
All jaws drop when high school track and football star Tyler Spence throws in his helmet and cleats to form Dance Machine a, “white boy,” funk band with four fellow classmates. Rising in popularity, the band sets off on a road-trip to a remote corner of their State to play for yet another Sadie Hawkins Dance. Car troubles turn what should have been a simple “gig-n-go” into a two-day ordeal. An unexpected encounter with an old teammate puts conflict into motion for Tyler and his friends when they find themselves at the mercy of the local Sheriff and townsfolk who all agree “they’d never seen boys wearing shoes like those before!” With no way out Tyler is forced to face his rival head-on in a climatic showdown to settle the score. PLATFORMS is a one of a kind, coming-of-age road-trip story with a fun funky vibe making it a timeless classic in the same way the 1970s fashions did for denim, sequins, rainbow knee-socks, and high-heeled shoes, “for men”!
Binge TV
For the first 70 years of television, broadcasters dictated the terms of the viewing experience, deciding not only when but how much of a program an audience could watch. Binge-watching destroyed that model by placing control of the experience in the hands of the viewer. In this book, media scholar Emil Steiner chronicles the technological and cultural struggle between broadcasters and viewers, which reached a climax in the early 2010s with the emergence of streaming video platforms. Through extensive interviews and archival research, this groundbreaking project traces the history of binge-watching from its idiot box roots to the new normal of Peak TV. Along the way, Steiner exposes the news campaigns waged by disruptive technology companies that exploited a long-simmering, revolutionary narrative of viewer empowerment to take over the broadcast industry. Binge-watching, an individual's act of gaining control and losing control through the remote control, exposed a debate that had been raging since the first TV set was turned on--one that asks, "Who controls the story?"

The Palgrave Handbook of Children's Film and Television
This volume explores film and television for children and youth. While children’s film and television vary in form and content from country to country, their youth audience, ranging from infants to “screenagers”, is the defining feature of the genre and is written into the DNA of the medium itself. This collection offers a contemporary analysis of film and television designed for this important audience, with particular attention to new directions evident in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. With examples drawn from Iran, China, Korea, India, Israel, Eastern Europe, the Philippines, and France, as well as from the United States and the United Kingdom, contributors address a variety of issues ranging from content to production, distribution, marketing, and the use of film, both as object and medium, in education. Through a diverse consideration of media for young infants up to young adults, this volume reveals the newest trends in children’s film and television and its role as both a source of entertainment and pedagogy.
