My Interviewees As Professional Writers

Here is a quick rundown of the professional status of my interviewees' writing processes.

Dr. Bradley Schauer
Works: Contributed to journals, The Velvet Light Trap, The New Review of Film and Television Studies, The Quarterly Review of Film and Video. Contributor to Antenna: Responses to Media and Culture. Created original book, The Pulp Paradox: Science Fiction and the Exploitation Tradition in Hollywood, 1950-1986 (University of Wisconsin, 2010).

Schauer's work on Antenna consists of editorial posts on issues and happenings in the realm of popular media that he is actively interested in. His format is that of an internet editorial article, and is formatted similar to a quick reference guide, making use of appropriate graphics and text blocking. His articles offer constructive criticism of recent dealings in comic books, movies, and television, and all are done without fear of copyrighting or sponsorship issues.
This contrasts with his book, The Pulp Paradox, which is in a standard non-fiction book format. It is his original property and not part of a parent website, making the text completely original. It was completed in 2010 and outlines the history of science fiction during the genre's renaissance.

Michael Mulcahy
Works: Documentary, Correction. Short film, dramatic fiction, Peter Berg.

Mulcahy has worked on several short films. While I could not find any links to them, they have been in co-production with various faculty and students from the U of A. His documentary, Correction, focuses on the staff of Arizona prisons and how they deal with their jobs. His style of filming coincides with the documentary style and contains many familiar techniques. The purpose of the documentary is to highlight the often-overlooked efforts of prison guards.
