hello i brought up the terrible cultural representstion in keeper to my parents and they said it was probably the publisher pushing for it. dyou have any thoughts? you seemed like the best person to ask about this

I don't know if I'm the best person, but I can certain share some thoughts about it. I'm assuming by cultural representation you're referring to the lack of diverse characters--and subpar representation/inclusion of the few characters who are diverse? (this is a bit long, so warning)

While I doubt it was the only thing, it is likely publishing affected the diversity; this was a book pitched and sold in the early 2010s in an industry dominated by white women--I found an article from 2016 saying about 79% of publishing staff are white. The same survey in 2019 found 76% were white, so while I can't find one more recent at the moment, it's safe to say it's still a very white-dominated industry.

Keeper is published by Simon & Schuster, and I found a few various sources talking about them, but nothing significant enough to override what I've already cited (which applies to them as well). You can check out this site citing a few employee statistics about them, if you're curious.

If you look through the people Shannon thanks in the acknowledgments of her books--Like Laura Rennert, Lara Perkins, Taryn Fagerness, etc.--the people she's working with and surrounded by appear to be predominantly white women (though I didn't look up every single name, and I'm specifically focusing on book 1 right now), and the thing about agents and editors and all the like is that they'll be much more incentivized to work with/sell/buy a book that they connect to emotionally, which in this case is white stories.

The same applies to authors, which I think is another aspect of the supbar diveristy. Shannon's--as far as I know--an abled allocishet non-hispanic white American woman. Authors like to write stories they connect to and see themselves in (which isn't inherently a bad thing), and for her that means stories with straight, cis, abled white characters and heavy American influence. And this story is scouted and enjoyed by white agents/editors/publishers/etc. (I don't know enough about them to truly discuss their identities, I'm coming to conclusions based on suggestive evidence, but may be wrong).

I can't tell you what's going on in their heads, but it's entirely possible that the lack of diversity wasn't a conscious choice, but rather something that none of them prioritized or noticed. Publishers appear to have some sort of diversity "quota" as well, not going beyond it. This opinion piece briefly mentions it amongst the rest of its discussion, how white publishers at Simon & Schuster questioned whether they needed to bid to publish a black author when they already had another. This is, however, one anecdotal instance and may not be representative. My point in including it is to be aware of what the scene may be and how, even though Shannon is white and therefore more likely to be published, a story with increased diversity may not be seen as necessary or be pushed for. Instead, the diversity in their company can come from other authors. So unless Shannon makes that conscious effort herself, she won't be punished for the lack.

That all discusses this from the perspective of including diversity. There's also the matter of the diversity that is there, which has been dissected and commented on by people far more knowledgeable than me. The two are related, and there are likely similar causes.

Once again, Shannon doesn't have the personal experience or knowledge of the various characters/backgrounds she includes. And her editors/publishers likely don't either, which may explain in part what we see in the books. I don't know whether keeper has sensitivity readers or not, but if there aren't any that could also contribute.

Improvements have been made with time--there are more characters of color than when we started--but that doesn't make these improvements without fault. So I think she is making an effort, but it's falling short. And if the prior observation about how they can meet their diversity quota with other authors continues here, there may not be significant push from her publishers/editors etc. to truly focus on quality diverse representation. They're committed to her story at this point and won't stop her, but they don't need her to do much, perhaps? And Shannon has, to an extent, backed herself into a corner because so much of her story was established without diversity early on, and there's only so much she can add later--we see now how the cast is started to get very crowded and complicated with all its additions, and her focus is on Sophie regardless.

There's a lot going on and I'm only touching the tip of the iceberg--and I am not an expert or professional of any kind, so take my observations and hypotheses with a grain of salt--but based on what i know, publishers likely do play a factor. But Shannon herself plays a role as well; the fact of the matter is the story she wrote isn't very diverse. And it was appealing to certain publishers, because the industry is abled straight white woman dominated. So there is a lack of representation, and the representation there feeds into stereotypes and generally isn't good.

No one cause can be blamed, but instead the intersection of various reasons contribute to the diversity issues--that's my conclusion, but don't just take it from me. Think about it for yourself and listen to others as well. I don't quite know where I'm going with all this, but hopefully some of this satisfies your questioning

If not or if anyone would like to discuss it further--including correcting me on anything I may have missed or insensitively said--my inbox is always open.

Sweater: High Sport Lara Long-Sleeve Cotton Sweater ($580) | Jeans: Ralph Lauren 160 Slim Denim Jean ($590.00) | Sneakers: Aldo Snowsneaker Low top sneaker ($100) | Handbag: Dorothy Perkins Red Double Bar Messenger Bag (£20.00) | Necklace: The Kiss ディズニープリンセス 白雪姫 / ピンクゴールド ネックレス (22,000円) | Headband: Jennifer Behr Everly Headband ($198.00)

This week's hotel is Disney's Wilderness Lodge, which draws inspiration from turn-of-the-century National Park lodges. The hotel also features a restaurant that hosts a Snow White-themed dinner. So, for this week's look, I took inspiration from Snow White for a look that would be fitting in a National Park or inside the Disney theme parks.

To match the color of the top of Snow White's dress, I chose a dark blue sweater. Since wearing a skirt in a National Park is not practical, I opted for a pair of bright yellow jeans for the bottom part of the outfit.

To complement the Snow White look, I paired it with the Snow White sneakers from Aldo's Princess collection. Although it may seem obvious, these sneakers are simply too perfect (and comfortable) to pass up. The selection of the handbag, however, is less obvious. I chose this one because it is the colour of an apple and vaguely resembles the shape of one as well.

To complete the outfit, I added a red headband resembling the one worn by Snow White and a necklace with an apple.

With this outfit, you'll feel like a modern-day Snow White, ready to explore the great outdoors as you hum a merry tune.

Nine Lives (2016)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

A movie like Nine Lives feels like a mistake. Certainly in 2016, when everyone involved knew better. A premise this tired and unoriginal had no business playing in theaters. I saw this movie at home and felt a little more than embarrassed. Had I seen it on the big screen or told another human being “One ticket for Nine Lives, please!” I might’ve died of shame.

New York business tycoon Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is a workaholic who never made time for his now-adult son David (Robbie Amell), ruined his first marriage and is on the verge of losing his second wife, Lara (Jennifer Garner). Their daughter Rebecca’s 11th birthday is days away and she only wants two things: for her father to be there and for him to bring her a cat. Redirected to a mysterious pet store owned by Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken), Brand adopts a cat named Mr. Fuzzypants. Moments later, an accident puts his body into a comatose state while his mind takes residence inside Mr. Fuzzypants.

Every time Nine Lives introduces a new story element, character, or plot point, a new wave of indifference splashes over you. Brand desperately wants his new skyscraper to be the tallest building in North America but a rival company is set to overtake the title. Who cares? As a cat, he overhears his wife talking about a man and suspects she may be cheating on him. So what? It’s not like we like him. Brand’s family is losing hope that he’ll wake up and begins considering pulling the plug. Good. Being stuck in a cat's body might’ve been the best thing that happened to him. Not because he’s learning any lessons - because it’s put him in a position where he can’t bully everyone around him anymore.

I understand what this “family comedy” wants to do. Brand is an egotistical, selfish jerk. This cat magic will teach him a lesson. Unfortunately, him being a cat means there’s no one for him to bounce off of, no one he can win over by showing how he's changed because he can’t talk or communicate with anyone. Sure Brand makes a couple of limp-wristed attempts to reveal his true identity to his family but his efforts are in vain and he gives up quickly. Director Barry Sonnenfeld is not interested in telling a story, he just wants to lead us from one lame cat joke to another while Spacey sits comfortably in a sound booth and narrates over the abysmal footage shown.

This movie is cheap and lazy. The special effects are terrible whenever the cat is on-screen. If a real cat appears, it frequently interacts with unconvincing sets. If the picture needs a CG kitty to fly through the air or do some acrobatics, you’ll wince. The character arcs are obvious to everyone watching even if they haven’t seen this scenario a thousand times - which they probably have. It’s a dusty script that’s been given a few dabs of fresh paint in the form of references to viral videos, social media and cellphones.

I’ll admit it. I laughed a few times but these chuckles are not enough to dissuade me from giving the film the lowest score possible. No executive watched this film and thought “this is good”. Every actor who read the script finished the last page with a sigh and said “well, I’ve got to pay those bills SOMEHOW”. Even the animal handlers must’ve questioned some of their career choices once they set foot on stage. There are no excuses for Nine Lives. (November 29, 2019)

Channel 4 Orders Make That Movie Comedy At Edinburgh

Meta Comedy ‘Make That Movie’ Kicks Off Channel 4 Edinburgh Commissions Channel 4 has opened its Edinburgh TV Festival commissioning roster with a comedy about a hotshot director who scours the country for everyday people who have an idea for a feature film. Make that Movie is created by 2022 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Sam Campbell (Taskmaster) and directed by Joe Pelling (Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared). Campbell plays himself alongside a team racing against the clock as they attempt to transform ideas into a film in just three days. Starring as Campbell’s filmmakers are Lara Ricote (2022 Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer, Break Clause) as runner Jess, Aaron Chen (Fisk) as intimacy coordinator Sebastian, Helen Bauer (Am I Being Unreasonable?) as sound engineer Pat, and David Hargreaves (This Country) as cinematographer Winnie.

Russell T Davies & Jack Thorne To Mentor Bad Wolf Writer Program Russell T Davies, Jack Thorne and Marnie Dickens are to mentor budding Welsh scribes as part of a Bad Wolf writer program. The Industry producer has launched the Blaidd Writers Programme on its 10th anniversary and it will see three writers develop with Bad Wolf an original, contemporary Welsh set returning drama. Davies, Thorne and Dickens will helm masterclasses along with Industry co-creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, and BAFTA award-winning screenwriter and In My Skin creator Kayleigh Llewellyn. Writers will start their placements in January 2025 at the SAW classroom at Bad Wolf’s Cardiff HQ, Wolf Studios Wales, where they will begin work with Bad Wolf on the development of an idea from pitch to broadcast ready script. Each writer will be paid a bursary of £18,000 ($23,400) to develop their script and a treatment, with travel, accommodation and other expenses covered by Bad Wolf. Bad Wolf CEO Jane Tranter said: “Wales has been the beating heart of Bad Wolf for the past decade. It is pivotal to our future, and the future of the Welsh TV industry, that we continue to nurture future generations of screenwriters.” Source link via The Novum Times
