In questo audio il prezioso incontro con Alessio Piccirillo artist manager e Zulema Scotto Lavina fumettistaIntervista in Contemporaneamente di Mariantonietta Firmani, il podcast pensato per Artribune.In Contemporaneamente podcast trovate incontri tematici con autorevoli interpreti del contemporaneo tra arte e scienza, letteratura, storia, filosofia, architettura, cinema e molto altro. Per approfondire questioni auliche ma anche cogenti e futuribili. Dialoghi straniati per accedere a nuove letture e possibili consapevolezze dei meccanismi correnti: tra locale e globale, tra individuo e società, tra pensiero maschile e pensiero femminile, per costruire una visione ampia, profonda ed oggettiva della realtà. Alessio Piccirillo e Zulema Scotto ci raccontano di retroscena di fumetti e cinema. Se il disegno è la primordiale espressione del proprio sentire interiore, il fumetto è la somma di molte professionalità. La promozione di un film si fa dopo aver deciso che quel film deve arrivare al pubblico ed emergere tra mille titoli che escono ogni anno. In Ameria il lavoro del fumetto è quasi una catena di montaggio dove ognuno si occupa di un specifica parte del lavoro: storyboard, matita, inchiostro, colore, fumetti, ecc.. Inoltre promuovere un programma televisivo ha tempi molto più veloci del cinema. Lo star sistem americano ha una particolare attenzione alla promozione, che è attentamente pianificata con estrema precisione, in anticipo, e anche le star sono molto disponibili. Purtroppo tra i giovani c'è una grande sofferenza e depressione di cui non si conoscono le cause, e molto altro.ASCOLTA L'INTERVISTA!BREVI NOTE BIOGRAFICHE DEGLI AUTORI.Alessio Piccirillo rappresenta uno dei i più accreditati uffici stampa cinematografici italiani. Si occupa di comunicazione per lo spettacolo che abbraccia in maniera completa tutti i settori dell'entertainment, con particolare interesse per il cinema. Rappresenta artisti che hanno affidato a loro la promozione a 360° della loro immagine attraverso i media. Hanno curato le campagne stampa di numerosi titoli dai generi più disparati, italiani ed esteri, promosso anche tournée teatrali, eventi, festival e rassegne cinematografiche. Numerose anche le collaborazioni con canali televisivi tematici, come Studio Universal, MGM e la comunicazione di format TV di produzioni come NONPANIC Banijay per Rai, Media set, Discover y, Sky. Tra i loro clienti le più importanti distribuzioni cinematografiche italiane oltre che internazionali. Hanno promosso oltre centocinquanta film e lavorato con le più importanti star italiane e internazionali da Al Pacino, Michael Fassbender, Naomi Watts, James Franco, Gerard Butel, Pelé, Dionne Warwick, Elle Fanninig e tanti altri . Zulema Scotto Lavina, nata a Napoli nel 1997, inizia a studiare fumetto alla Scuola Internazionale di Comics di Napoli, successivamente studia colorazione digitale alla scuola Italiana di Comix e parallelamente pittura ad olio. Inizia la sua carriera a 21 anni collaborando con Arancia Studio, pubblicando varie storie brevi per la Francia, con case editrici come Petit à petit. Arriva poi la pubblicazione di tre volumi per Dark Horse Comics/disney con il fumetto di “Disney's The Little Mermaid” scritto da Cecil Castellucci e colorato da Piky Hamilton, diventando così la più giovane fumettista italiana a pubblicare per una grossa casa editrice americana. Successivamente pubblica una storia breve per l'Antarctis Press “Horror comics Black & white”. Nel 2021 esce una sua variant cover per il nono volume di “Deep Beyond” pubblicato dalla casa editrice americana Image Comics. E disegna ancora per l'America lo speciale di natale della Dynamite Comics “Red Sonja 2021 Holiday Special” scritto da Mirka Andolfo e Luca Blengino.

Look alive, Sunshine! It's time for another Book Club episode. Gen and Jette discuss The True Live of the Fabulous Killjoys: California by Gerard Way, Shaun Simon, and Becky Cloonan. It's a great conversation about storytelling, graphic novels, and dystopian aesthetics. Show notes: Killjoys may have begun as an idea for a comic book series, but it first came to life on My Chemical Romance's album Danger Days. The graphic novel picks up where that story leaves off. Watch the music videos for "Na Na Na" and "SING" for more Killjoys content and to see the where the aesthetic of the comic was born. The sequel to Killjoys: California is available in a collected edition called The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem. We came up with about five different essays we could write based on this book and had a great discussion about the use of colour. Gerard Way was cofounder of the DC imprint Young Animal, but both Killjoys and Umbrella Academy were published by Dark Horse Comics. For more graphic novel goodness, listen to Episode 21 where we discuss Shade, the Changing Girl by Cecil Castellucci. Our next book club book is Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney. We'll be discussing this one in our first episode of 2022!

PLAYING WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S TOYS. This week, David and Rylend are joined by Eisner Nominee Cecil Castellucci (Batgirl) and Superman of Metropolis writer Sean Lewis. The group discusses the finer points of writing iconic comic book characters. Cecil, Sean, and Rylend discover that they all have the same IP agent (whom Avallone also once had lunch with). And Rylend attempts, on air, to leap over his desk in a single bound. SPOILER: It doesn't work out so well for him... or the desk.

They begin with Gerard Way and Nick Derington's Doom Patrol, the maiden voyage of the new imprint. There have been three issues released so far, and the guys really like what they've seen. Way definitely takes a cue from Grant Morrison's legendary run on the title, referencing many of Morrison's original additions to the Silver Age series -- most notably Danny the Street and Flex Mentallo -- yet at the same time making Doom Patrol uniquely his own. After that, Andy and Derek discuss the first four issues of Shade the Changing Girl. This is Cecil Castellucci and Marley Zarcone's revamping of the old Steve Ditko creation (and best popularized in the early 1990s by Peter Milligan and Chris Bachelor), Shade the Changing Man. Their emphasis on the lives of young high school women promises to be a curious spin on the property. Next, the guys turn to what Andy calls his favorite of the Young Animal line, Jonathan Rivera, Gerard Way, and Michael Avon Oeming's Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye. As they point out, Cave Carson is a character from the early 1960s appearing in both Brave and the Bold and Showcase, but unlike his contemporary Rip Hunter, he never received a title of his own. Way, Rivera, and Oeming are now giving him that opportunity. The Two Guys conclude their episode with a very different kind of Young Animal title, Jody Houser and Tommy Lee Edwards's Mother Panic. This is the only one of the four series not to be based on Silver Age properties, and it's the only one to be deeply enmeshed into the DC Universe. For that reason, Derek is less enamored with Mother Panic -- at least in terms of the first two issues so far -- feeling that it takes itself too seriously and wonders why this wasn't a regular DC title. Andy has no problem with this Gotham-drenched series.

Our guest on this episode is Cecil Castellucci, one of America's most influential young-adult novelists. Her first book, Grandma's Gloves, won the California Book Award Gold Medal. Her novel Boyproof debuted in 2005 and was named one of the best books for young adults by the American Library Association. She's also in the world of comics; she won the Joe Shuster Award for her graphic novel Plain Janes, which was published by DC Comics' Minx imprint. She was nominated for a Will Eisner Award for her book Odd Duck, and Moving Target, her Princess Leia Star Wars novel, was published to great acclaim last year. Right now, she is working on Shade the Changing Girl, part of the new imprint that DC Comics is putting out, Young Animal, which is spearheaded by none other than Gerard Way. http://BlastoffComics.com

This week, we have an amazing conversation with Cecil Castellucci, author of many fine books, including Odd Duck, The Plain Janes, Star Wars: Moving Target, and the upcoming Shade the Changing Girl for DC Comics' Young Animal imprint and Soupy Leaves Home for Dark Horse Comics. Cecil has had an incredibly diverse career, and we do our best to touch on much of it - from her days at the Fame high school in New York to her time in an indie rock band to her more recent YA and graphic novel work. We chat about contributing to the Star Wars universe, charting an experimental course with Gerard Way on the brand-new Young Animal books, gender-swapping the character of Shade (who was previously Shade the Changing Man for DC's Vertigo line), and dipping her toes into the world of opera. This one's just a flat-out fun conversation.

Stone in the Sky (Roaring Brook Press) The Baseball Player and the Walrus (Dial Books) Please join us tonight as we celebrate the launch of Cecil Castellucci's Stone in the Sky, as well as the paperback release of Tin Star and the 10th anniversary of the release of Boy Proof, which was just named as one of the top 100 best YA Books of All Time by Time Magazine! For today's event Cecil will be joined by Ben Loory, who will be launching his first children's book The Baseball Player and the Walrus! "Brother Blue. His name, even the color, filled me with a furious fire of pure hatred." Years ago, Tula Bane was beaten and left for dead on a remote space station far from Earth, her home planet. She started with nothing and had no one, but over time, she found a home, a family, and even love. When it's discovered that the abandoned planet beneath the station is abundant with a rare and valuable resource, aliens from across the galaxy race over to strike it rich. With them comes trouble, like the man who nearly killed Tula years ago—the man she has dreamed of destroying ever since. In this sequel to Tin Star, Cecil Castellucci takes readers on an extraordinary adventure through space in a thrilling and thoughtful exploration of what it means to love, to hate, and to be human. Cecil Castellucci is a two-time MacDowell Colony fellow and award-winning author of twelve books for young adults, including Boy Proof, The Plain Janes,First Day on Earth, Year of the Beasts, and Tin Star. She lives in Los Angeles. . . . From acclaimed short-story writer Ben Loory comes a sweet and poignant story of friendship. Once there was a famous baseball player who seemed to have it all. He made lots of money and had fans from around the world. But, he didn't have the one thing he wanted most—happiness. That is until he went to the zoo. There the baseball player sees a walrus who “makes funny noises” and “flaps its flippers” in glee, and he decides he wants the walrus in his life. When the baseball player leaves his job to spend more time with his new best friend, trouble arises in zoo paradise. Hopefully, the pair can find a compromise that will keep everyone happy and even leave a little time for one last game. The Baseball Player and the Walrus brings the love of baseball and of friendship together in a humorous story of how we find happiness in the most surprising of places. Author Ben Loory lives in Los Angeles and is the acclaimed author of Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day, which Kirkus has called “one of kind.” His short stories have appeared in the New Yorker and on NPR's This American Life. Visit him at www.benloory.com. Illustrator Alexander Latimer lives on the outskirts of a national park, where rogue porcupines wander the nearby streets, though he has yet to find any walruses. He is also the author of The Boy Who Cried Ninja, Lion vs. Rabbit, Pig and Small, andPenguin's Hidden Talent. Visit him at www.alexlatimer.co.za.

Tin Star (Roaring Brook Press) Skylight Books' very own Cecil Castellucci returns to launch her newest YA novel, a sci-fi adventure for the ages.  Cecil will follow a reading from her novel with a Q&A with JPL scientist Steve Collins! On their way to start a new life, Tula and her family travel on the "Prairie Rose," a colony ship headed to a planet in the outer reaches of the galaxy. All is going well until the ship makes a stop at a remote space station, the Yertina Feray, and the colonist's leader, Brother Blue, beats Tula within an inch of her life. An alien, Heckleck, saves her and teaches her the ways of life on the space station. When three humans crash land onto the station, Tula's desire for escape becomes irresistible, and her desire for companionship becomes unavoidable. But just as Tula begins to concoct a plan to get off the space station and kill Brother Blue, everything goes awry, and suddenly romance is the farthest thing from her mind.Cecil Castellucci is a two-time MacDowell Colony fellow, an award-winning author of five books for young adults, and the YA and children's book editor of the Los Angeles Review of Books. Born in New York City, Cecil lives in Los Angeles. For the research of Tin Star, Cecil attended LaunchPad, a NASA funded workshop intended to teach writers of science fiction about the most up-to-date and correct space science. Steve Collins is an Attitude Control engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.  Most recently Cruise ACS System Engineer for the Mars Curiosity Rover, Steve has worked on numerous NASA/JPL missions including Epoxi, Dawn, Deep Impact, MER, Deep Space One, Galileo and Mars Observer.  In flight, Steve's job includes keeping the spacecraft pointed in the right direction, performing trajectory corrections and figuring out "what the heck just happened??"  When he's not flying a robotic spacecraft around the solar system, Steve can be found playing soccer, racing his Miata, jamming on the Theremin with the band Artichoke, or acting on-stage with TACIT, Caltech's resident theater company.

ODD DUCK (First Second) Prolific young adult author and longtime friend of Skylight Books Cecil Castellucci is BACK with a brand new graphic novel picture book for children and the young at heart.  Illustrated by the wonderful Sara Varon! (Robot Dreams) Theodora is a perfectly normal duck. She may swim with a teacup balanced on her head and stay north when the rest of the ducks fly south for the winter, but there's nothing so odd about that. Chad, on the other hand, is one strange bird. Theodora quite likes him, but she can't overlook his odd habits. It's a good thing Chad has a normal friend like Theodora to set a good example for him.

Cecil Castellucci returns to Skylight Books to launch her new young adult novel First Day on Earth.  This isn't just a launch party -- it's also Cecil's birthday, so expect a party! "A simple, tender work that speaks to the alien in all of us." --Kirkus Reviews Mal lives on the fringes of high school. Angry. Misunderstood. Quiet, but with a lot of words underneath. Seven years ago, Mal disappeared for three days. Everyone tells him it was a breakdown, a seizure, something medical. He thinks it was something different. An alien abduction. But there's no way for him to know for sure. Then, at an abductee support group, he meets Hooper, who has some otherworldly secrets of his own. And suddenly the truth is closer than Mal ever imagined it could be.
