Wie Filme Männlichkeit vermitteln
Erstellt von Hans-Georg Nelles am Samstag 26. Januar 2013
Als der dreijährige Sohn von Colin Stokes einen Blick von ‚Star Wars‘ geworfen hatte, war er sofort besessen davon. Aber welche Botschaft hat er aus dem Science-Fiction-Klassiker aufgenommen? Stokes bittet um weitere Filme, die Jungen positive Botschaften senden: das Zusammenarbeit ist heroisch und Achtung der Frauen genauso männlich ist, wie den Bösewicht zu besiegen.
Colin Stokes divides his time between parenting and building the brand of Citizen Schools, a non-profit that reimagines the school day for middle school students in low-income communities in eight states. As Managing Director of Brand & Communications, Colin helps people within the organization find the ideas, words and stories that will connect with more and more people. He believes that understanding the human mind is a force that can be used for good and seeks to take advantage of our innate and learned tendencies to bring out the best in each other and our culture.
Before starting a family, Colin was an actor and graphic designer in New York City. He starred in the long-running off-Broadway musical I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, as well is in several musicals and Shakespeare stagings. But he jokes that he seems to have achieved more renown (and considerably more revenue) for his brief appearances on two Law & Order episodes.
