What caught my eye was the double barreled pedigree of the film: in addition to director Julie Gavras, the film co-stars Julie Depardieu, daughter of Gerard Depardieu. <br /><br />Young Nina Kervel-Bey is fantastic as the protagonist, Anna de la Mesa. I would be very happy to cast her to play me at the same age! She's thoughtful, completely out of touch with children her own age, disgusted by the indignities of childhood, and confused and frustrated by the hypocrisies of adults.<br /><br />There's nothing precious about the film and it's so much more than a coming of age story. It's funny but it's also very conscious of the realities and discomforts of childhood. It struck me as an usually honest film. <br /><br />I highly recommend it.Shaula Evanshttp://theblackboard.blcklst.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20624779.post-72107022591686527042013-06-27T09:22:21.651-07:002013-06-27T09:22:21.651-07:00Thank you!!

Just to share the provenance, The Wrap picked that story up from <a href="http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/2013/06/gender-as-represented-in-spec-script-sales.html" rel="nofollow">Go Into the Story</a>. <a href="https://twitter.com/SusanDelCampo" rel="nofollow">Susana Orozco</a> did the analysis on data compiled by Scott Myers, and <a href="https://twitter.com/terrykhuang" rel="nofollow">Terry Huang</a> of the <a href="http://www.blcklst.com" rel="nofollow">Black List</a> created the infographic.<br /><br />Access is of EXTRAORDINARY importance to everyone in the Black List family. The gender and spec market study was just the beginning (our look at that subject wasn’t done without reason).<br /><br />We had a big discussion a while ago at The Black Board about <a href="http://theblackboard.blcklst.com/forums/topic/under-representation-in-screenwriting/" rel="nofollow">why women and other groups are under-represented in screenwriting and what we can do about it</a>, which include links to some GREAT resources including the recent study on women in film by Sundance and USC--that's a good start to answering "what gives".Shaula Evanshttp://theblackboard.blcklst.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20624779.post-84827067807215251532013-06-26T22:37:50.807-07:002013-06-26T22:37:50.807-07:00Yes, this is a great one!

Melissa Silverstein of the Women & Hollywood blog runs it and does a fantastic job. She brings together great films, inspiring panelist and special guests (Diablo Cody, Gloria Steinem, etc).

I study at UCB and they have their methods, structures and improv rules for their reasons. The same must be true at this other place. I think they are just trying to keep their scenes contained somehow. The important question to ask is: “Is that rule conducive to more successful and funnier scenes?” Like you, I say probably not.dizzydenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346013529127682931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20624779.post-52701245303890302272013-05-13T18:07:37.192-07:002013-05-13T18:07:37.192-07:00Gee - Is Jed Whedon related to Joss Whedon?Gee - Is Jed Whedon related to Joss Whedon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20624779.post-86523837905086169732013-05-11T10:26:33.782-07:002013-05-11T10:26:33.782-07:00Thank YOU, Shaula!

Second, "groovy run-and-jumping action shoes" sound like total winners! And if they're conversation starters --even better! The goal is interesting, stand out, (since you're in comedy...) fun shoes...and then there's always really stylish imported numbers for folks on an unlimited budget. Sometimes for meetings I wear a pair of funky red boots that have flowers etched on them. I always get "Hey, like your boots." Then I launch into some funny story about my boots - ice breaker! So I say wear the fun kid's shoes and have a funny "small feet" story in your back pocket. It's sure to impress!!! Now go out and crush it!!!Kathy Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860636962016537336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20624779.post-38359085416119886292013-05-09T08:01:12.671-07:002013-05-09T08:01:12.671-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kathy Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09860636962016537336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20624779.post-54774359048244441202013-05-08T22:38:40.173-07:002013-05-08T22:38:40.173-07:00My shoes say...

When my brother got married, I almost had to buy "Disney Princess Line" dress shoes (brown plastic with pink plastic diamonds in the toe) and briefly considered coloring in my feet with a black felt pen. (I ultimately found a flat black pair... that did up with velcro.) The shoes I was wearing today (*not* to business meetings) say: "Shaula's happy she can pay kids prices for groovy run-and-jumping action shoes." I am afraid that while my footwear occasionally starts conversations, especially when I'm wearing the same brand and size as someone's child, odds are my shoes are not going to be what impresses anyone in a business context.

She only created characters such as Uncle Roy (Buck Henry), Roseanne Roseannadanna (Gilda Radner), and, with Anne Beatts, the nerds Todd LaBounta and Lisa Loopner (Bill Murray and Gilda Radner, respectively). She also was responsible for the majority of the “Baba Wawa” sketches and introduced the Bees as the show’s first recurring characters. <br />Shuster went on to write for a handful of other inspired series, including Square Pegs, Carol & Company, and Bob and Margaret. After working with Carol Burnett, she wrote on The Larry Sanders Show. Anne Marie Schefflrehttp://www.annemariescheffler.comnoreply@blogger.com
