It's A Girl Thing: Tween Queens and the Commodification of the Girl's Tween Market

A few years of research, thoughts and adjustments that all led to a completed film which, framed by the structure of a faux interactive website for tween girls, looks closely, and critically, at the tween market's evolution and the role of Disney and Nickelodeon's tween queens (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Miley Cryus, Miranda Cosgrove, Kiki Palmer, Selena Gomez, and more) in the market's explosion.

Meeting Update



Met with the Sociology Professor today and feel downright ecstatic about it. She not only had many suggestions for books/dvds to check out to gain more knowledge on the girls & consumerism topic, but is also interested in working with me.

Hopefully we'll be able to meet in the next week or two to talk about what exactly this can mean. For now I think the plan may end up being: I work on my short, culture jamming MKA found footage piece, meanwhile she and i reasearch further and co-create a documentary and series of articles that look at the development of the tween market and mka's role in it. Fan-friggin-tabulous!
