Author: Rusty Hatchell / University of Texas at Austin

Rusty Hatchell is a PhD student in the Radio-Television-Film department at the University of Texas at Austin. His research generally looks at the cultural and industrial relations between location and production practice, focusing mostly on science fiction, fantasy, and superhero television filmed in the United States and Canada. His M.A. thesis, Sci-Fi TV in the Great White North: The Development of Vancouver as a Science Fiction Media Capital, explored how the multi-channel transition of the Hollywood television industry cultivated a high-demand for content production and ultimately led to a wave of science fiction, horror, and supernatural productions in Vancouver. He currently has an article forthcoming in Middle West Review connecting the Albertan production culture of Fargo to the rural regionality of the Canadian Prairies and the American Midwest.
