Completely agree with @meesk.bsky.social. Love the small themed conference. Bravo @lucimarz.bsky.social and the rest of the Hollywood Conference team. Already looking forward to the next iteration! #HWC2025
The Hollywood Conference at USC was perfect: highly-quality scholarship on a focused topic, great mix of scholars at all ranks, and lots of time for conviviality and community. Thanks @lucimarz.bsky.social! You’re an ace. #HWC2025
Matthew Ellis setting up “crisis” as a weak model that needs to be replaced (because crises are a built-in cycle of capitalist modernity)
Among the many excellent panels I want to give a shout out to @labuzamovies.com for his panel on crisis with @matthiasellis.com and Alena Smith (showrunner of Dickinson) which moved between theory, labor unions, and precariously lived production experience. #HWC2025
The Hollywood Conference was great! Congratulations to @lucimarz.bsky.social and all the organizers. #HWC2025
The Hollywood Conference affirmed my love of small, thematic conferences. I saw so many inspiring talks, and there was enough downtime to have actual conversations with people I have known for a long time and with people I just met here. I hope there will be a second iteration. #HWC2025
Next up: “Studying (In) Hollywood” with presentations by Natalie Ngai, Amy Shore, Nathaniel Brennan, and John Trafton

I'm having serious FOMO about not applying to Console-ing Passions or the very exciting inaugural Hollywood Conference this year. Ya girl needed a serious break and had to stop herself from applying, but OMG THE FOMO. Hope it's going great, @lucimarz.bsky.social! #HWC2025

Looks like Los Angeles is going to show off its A+ weather for the Hollywood Conference this week. Bring your sunglasses for the LA sunshine and light sweaters for our breezy evenings (and overzealous air conditioning in the School of Cinematic Arts). #HWC2025
