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.

Post - Production Begins

So, not to say that there will be no other interviews to collect, but post-production has now begun on the film. I have a feeling that the process of narrowing down the footage is going to reveal some holes and create some needs, but isn't that the fun of it all?

Also, the script continues to develop for the animation. Ive been avoiding the scripting of the marketing expert, but with some encouragement from my animation director and a local filmmaker who has turned me on to some excellent actors Im feeling excited (despite the new territory and fear that comes with the unknown).

So, all this said...I'll try to keep everyone updated on a regular basis with the ups and downs as editing progresses.
