Taylor Jenkins Reid is among the stars — on and off the page
Writing about new worlds is nothing new for American writer Taylor Jenkins Reid. From 1950s Los Angeles in The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo to the professional tennis circuit in Carrie Soto is Back, Reid's work peels the curtain back on unfamiliar ecosystems — and brings her readers along with her. Reid's latest novel, Atmosphere, however, takes us out of this world, featuring women astronauts in the 1980s. She said it's been her hardest research challenge yet, but one she couldn't refuse. "I only know how to write the stories that call to me," she said on Bookends with Mattea Roach. "An idea shows up and I get really into it and I think that'd be a really fun book to read. And then somehow, between that moment and finishing the book, I have to somehow become a person who could write that book." Between studying the history of NASA, the stories of early women astronauts and learning how a space shuttle actually works, Reid set herself up for hours of research and conversations with Paul Dye, the now retired longest-serving flight director at NASA. "I'm proud of actually completing [ Atmosphere ] because, to be honest, it was incredibly hard to write," she said. "But I'm also just proud of the love story and I do hope that it finds its way to the people that need it and also the people who would just enjoy it." Atmosphere is a love story in many ways — from the main character Joan's love for space and the stars, to her slow-burn romantic relationship with fellow astronaut Vanessa, and the strong bond she has with her niece, Frances. The novel is thrilling from the start, when readers learn there's been an explosion on a space shuttle, and it bounces back and forth in time, sharing Joan's journey to being the voice of mission control on this fateful day — and what's at stake, both personally and professionally, when things don't go as planned. "I really do see in Joan a sort of delayed coming of age story," said Reid. "This is a person who has gotten it all right. She did everything she was supposed to do. "Now that she's achieved this thing that most people could never achieve, there's room for her to start asking herself some questions. And it's not just related to her sexuality. There are a lot of ways that Joan comes into herself throughout the course of the book." A love story Part of Joan's growth is becoming more sure of who she is, which is helped by the way she is loved by Vanessa, who is so confident and has such a strong understanding of herself. "There is an attraction there that is not just about proximity, it's about the fact that Joan wants to be a person that Vanessa would like — and looking at Joan's self through the eyes of Vanessa feels really, really good. "That is powerful enough to make Joan start asking herself certain questions that she hasn't asked." It's similar for Vanessa, who also loves the fact that she is loved by Joan. "This person who is so good and so kind, in Vanessa's eyes, thinks that Vanessa is good and kind and I think that is something that is worth Vanessa rearranging her whole life for." While the backdrop of the 80s and the high-pressure work environment of NASA pose some challenges for the couple, Joan and Vanessa's love for each other isn't thrown into question or put in jeopardy. They just have to figure out the best way to separate their private lives from their public ones, as some of the first female astronauts who are under intense scrutiny to perform well and be role models for younger generations. The public vs. the private Reid herself is no stranger to scrutiny — and she explores that theme in almost all of her novels. She was catapulted into the public eye thanks to the breakout success of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones and the Six, which was also made into a TV show, and has since been a prominent literary figure. "If I could just write books and nobody knew who I was as a person, that would be ideal for me," she said. But even though she'd rather stay unknown, as time progresses, her relationship with fame has evolved. "I like it when authors who I really admire talk about why they wrote the book and where it comes from," she said. "As a reader and as a fan, I am interested in these things." She also loves the moments of connection when strangers share the parts of the books that have meant a lot to them. Lately, she's been working on separating the public version of herself from the one she knows to be true. "People can say whatever they're going to say about me. It could be the most lovely thing in the world. It could be terrible. It doesn't mean it's true about me." Motherhood in writing and real life Because for Reid, success is about being someone those close to her can be proud of — starting with her immediate family — her husband and her daughter, who inspires one of the relationships in Atmosphere. By writing about Joan and her niece Frances, Reid was able to examine the bittersweet feeling of watching a child grow up from her own experience. "Each stage is better than the last, but at the same time you miss the last one and you're looking forward to the next one," she said. "I loved writing about that here. It felt really lovely to indulge that part of myself and I think the relationship between Joan and Frances is somewhat shaped by how good it felt to write about them." In the acknowledgments for Atmosphere, Reid writes that her daughter's positive feedback and emotional response to the story was the most satisfying thing she's ever done creatively. "I really want her to be proud of me," she said on Bookends. "I don't know that I [ever] wanted somebody to be proud of me in the way that I hope that she is."

'We are not doing political films': Why award-winning documentaries are being frozen out
A modern David and Goliath story blazed through the film festival circuit last year: Union, a documentary about a group of Amazon workers fighting to unionize a warehouse of one of the biggest companies in the world. Now, Union is on the Oscar short list for best documentary feature — but, like several others on that list, you won't find it on a major American streaming platform. "The big streamers — Hulu and Netflix specifically — they were pretty blunt," Brett Story, who co-directed Union with Stephen Maing, told CBC News. "They said, 'We are not doing social issue documentary. We are not doing political films.'" Neither Hulu nor Netflix responded to CBC News's request for comment. Story isn't the only filmmaker navigating what she sees as political and corporate roadblocks. There's also No Other Land, which documents Palestinian resistance in Masafer Yatta, a community in the occupied West Bank that the Israeli military has gradually destroyed. Despite debuting to acclaim last year, it too has been unable to find U.S. distribution deals. "I read it as something that's completely political," Yuval Abraham, one of the filmmakers, told Variety last week. In a media landscape increasingly characterized by fewer options and more powerful corporate interests, films that push boundaries and challenge power are becoming harder for the general public to easily access, industry experts say. Critical buzz, but no sales Union follows a group of Amazon workers on Staten Island, N.Y., as they embark on an 11-month battle to unionize their warehouse. The film saw critical buzz, appearing at more than 100 festivals worldwide and winning prizes including at Sundance Film Festival. But that didn't materialize into sales, Story said. She said some distributors expressed to her privately that they were afraid of jeopardizing their relationship with Amazon MGM Studios if they took it. "Our film is about a group of ordinary people that take on a big tech company and win. "Despite that being something audiences want to see, there's a lot of corporate interests that don't want that story to get out." No Other Land co-creator Abraham told The Associated Press in November that he believed the chances of finding an American distributor rested on the result of the then-looming U.S. election, and that distributors were holding back out of fear of a Trump win. "But Basel risked his life for years since he was a young boy to film this material," said the Israeli filmmaker, referring to his Palestinian co-filmmaker, Basel Adra. "Can we not have one distributor with the courage, OK, to take a certain risk, but to distribute such an acclaimed and such an important documentary?" Although the film has distribution in 24 countries, no major U.S. distributor has signed on. The film will get a theatrical release in select U.S. theatres through Cinetic Media. 'A sense of risk aversion' Major companies haven't always avoided "overtly political" documentaries, said Pat Mullen, publisher of Canadian documentary outlet POV Magazine. Just five years ago, he said, Netflix picked up a documentary about labour struggles at a U.S. auto factory shortly after its Sundance debut. American Factory went on to take home the Oscar for best documentary feature. "Now, we have Union, which is covering similar territory, and no one's picking it up," Mullen said. Mullen, who's been reporting on the documentary scene for 10 years, says we've recently been seeing a "sense of risk aversion in the business." "We're seeing a lot more softer titles get distribution, like music documentaries, celebrity bios," he said. "Not necessarily ... films that really take a deep look at issues of today." Story called it "governance by algorithm." To her, that means "sure bets that don't rock any boats." Not every documentary breaking new ground has been shut out from major distributors. For example, Disney+ is set to carry Sugarcane, a film about residential schools, and Netflix is housing Will & Harper, which follows a road trip between Will Ferrell and his friend Harper Steele, a transgender woman. But of that short list, the more politically charged films haven't gotten major distribution. That includes The Bibi Files, which examines corruption charges against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Hollywoodgate, which follows the growth of the Taliban after the U.S. retreat from Afghanistan. Both are only available to see in the U.S. and Canada through a little-known new streaming platform called Jolt, and only for a limited time. Streamers and major companies seem to be avoiding controversy, he said, even though that has historically sold tickets. "There's no logical connection between what the audience is expressing interest in and what distributors are resisting to take," he said. "The disconnect, it's not making sense." Shrinking media landscape One factor is the increasing consolidation of media companies, experts say. For example, last spring, Participant announced it was shutting down. The independent studio was dedicated to films meant to inspire social change, helping produce American Factory, the labour documentary that Netflix distributed in 2019. It was also known for heavy-hitters like An Inconvenient Truth, Spotlight and Food, Inc. And here in Canada, Hot Docs, the country's largest documentary film festival, continues to experiences internal turmoil. When just a few companies control what films get to be seen, "that's a real problem," said Story. She pointed out that one of them, Amazon MGM Studios, is owned by Jeff Bezos, who reportedly spiked an endorsement of Kamala Harris for U.S. president last year at the Washington Post, which he also owns. Amazon's studio arm is also sinking serious cash into a Melania Trump documentary, recently signing a $40-million US deal for licensing rights. "Forty million could buy a lot of documentaries," Mullen said. Self-distribution struggles After failing to find a distributor, Story and co-director Steven Maing decided to do it themselves, making deals with theatres and offering the film for purchase on a digital platform called Gathr. Self-distributing can allow filmmakers to make an event out of screenings and have more control over advertising. But it also adds a huge burden. It took a year and a half and an Oscar nomination for director Nisha Pahuja's much-lauded 2022 documentary To Kill a Tiger to be picked up by Netflix worldwide, Mullen said. In that time, Pahuja wasn't able to make other films, he said. The documentary format is an opportunity to explore a story in depth, going beyond the headlines to provide analysis on a larger scale and longer timeline. When people lose access to these films, they "can't be as well informed about what's going on in the world," Mullen said.
