Okay! First: my intro + my top research resources.

I'm Stevie 👋🏼 I'm a professional researcher for the AFI Catalog. I have a Masters in screenwriting from Stephens College. I specialize in researching lost, silent, and hard-to-find films. I'm currently working on Lois Weber's short films.

Hey, #screenwriters and #scriptsky, would you like me to share how to research lost/historical/older movies? Info like:
- How to you start your research.
- How to find information from primary sources.
- How to organize info.
Helps a lot with biopics, adaptations, essays, and historical info.

So many story lines have used Women In Refrigerators trope to move plot forward. It's one thing if it was once in awhile but frigging is so commonplace a lot of us assume it will happen especially in action films.

@daiziesss

this actually has its own trope because it happens so often btw

Women in refrigerators is a literary trope

coined by Gail Simone in 1999 describing a trend in fiction which involves female characters facing disproportionate harm, such as death, maiming, or assault, to serve as plot devices to motivate male characters, an event colloquially known as "fridging". Simone's

I think there seriously needs to be discussed how often you see in media how a woman's suffering is used as a means to make the men around her feel braver and how many fandom/shipping spaces only amplifies that

When I was 10, a movie was filmed at my babysitter's high school. She was a background extra, but she wasn't in the final cut. Anyway, sometimes I still watch that movie for fun. That movie was 10 Things I Hate About You. ❤️ #scriptsky

As filmmakers and screenwriters, it's our responsibility to stop encouraging violence against women. Patterns of domestic violence do not need to be mirrored by on-screen heroes or villains. We have to do better. #scriptsky #filmsky

According to crime statistics, "One in four women will experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in their lifetime, and of those, up to 68 percent will suffer near-fatal strangulation at the hands of their partner." naplesshelter.org/strangulation/

Recently, I watched a superhero movie and I noticed that several women (heroes and villains) were strangled throughout the film. #scriptsky, I'm begging you to write something else. Strangulation is the highest predictor of murder/femicide in DV. www.domesticshelters.org/articles/ide...

Strangulation is the Highest Predictor of Murder

Being strangled by an abusive partner spikes a survivor’s risk of being murdered by them later on.

I have a slipped disc in my neck. After a decade of debilitating headaches and neck pain, it was discovered with a cervical MRI. And yesterday, a doctor told me that I simply need to "rewire my brain" to "process pain" better. What. The. Fuck.

I Love Lucy is one of my favorite shows. And tonight I had the unbelievable honor of showing my husband the Vitameatavegamin episode. Somehow, he'd never seen it?! So, SO much fun to see his reactions. #scriptsky
