  BIRDMAN 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY ALEJANDRO G. IÑÁRRITU 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Birdman (2014), directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, follows Riggan Thomson, a faded Hollywood actor known for his role as the superhero "Birdman." Struggling with his past fame, Riggan attempts to reinvent himself by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway play. The film explores themes of identity, self-worth, and the pressures of fame, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Shot in long takes to create the illusion of a single continuous scene, Birdman delves into the complexities of artistic expression, personal redemption, and the challenges of escaping the shadows of past successes. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  "The movie was rehearsed and shot in sequence, so the editing process only took two weeks." 
    
  "Only sixteen visible cuts can be found in the entire film." 
    
  "During filming, Edward Norton and Michael Keaton kept track of the actors' flubs, with Emma Stone making the most errors and Zach Galifianakis the fewest." 
    
  "Much of the film was shot inside Broadway's St. James Theatre, where the actors had to deliver up to fifteen pages of dialogue in one take while hitting precisely choreographed marks." 
    
  "Edward Norton's character parodies his own reputation for being difficult to work with, similar to the way Michael Keaton's Birdman mirrors his earlier role as Batman."

  Daisy Jones & The Machine We Built

  Daisy Jones & The Machine We Built is a requiem for authenticity in an age of performance. Behind every song lies an algorithm, behind every voice a brand. This book explores how passion becomes product, how rebellion becomes rhythm, and how the hunger for art is replaced by the machinery of attention. Daisy’s story becomes a parable for a generation that traded intimacy for influence, and creation for visibility. Through lyrical prose and cultural critique, it reveals the cost of being seen in a world that values exposure over expression — and asks whether there’s still room for truth in an echo chamber built to repeat itself forever.

  Bottom of the Pyramid - A Memoir...

  INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
  "Sioux’s harrowing reality TV ordeal cuts deep, and her subsequent self-assurance is endearing and infectious. It adds up to an inspiring account of reclaiming artistic agency.” - Publisher’s Weekly 
  When you’ve been told over and over that you belong at the bottom, how do you come out on top? Dance Moms star and triple threat Nia Sioux shows the way via her story of resilience, triumph, and defining success for herself. 
  Young dancer Nia Sioux was only nine years old when she stepped into stardom as one of the original cast members of Lifetime’s reality TV show Dance Moms. Nia learned new choreography week after week and competed against dancers from across the country as well as at her own studio. Perhaps her greatest obstacle was suffering through her dance teacher’s ranking of the girls against each other in her infamous pyramid, where Nia spent the majority of her time on the bottom—all in front of an audience of millions. 
  But there was much that viewers didn’t see. How her experiences in the studio went far beyond what made it into the show. How she was ostracized for not fitting into an aesthetic that wasn’t designed for girls like her. How her friendships and her mental health crumbled under the strain of the show. How she lost control of her story and her voice. 
  But don’t be fooled—this is a story about resilience. Nia is not looking for pity, sympathy, or validation as she reflects on her experiences. Instead, she is choosing to use her story as a celebration of triumph. Nia finally gets to tell her story in her own way and in her own words. In this captivating memoir, Nia reclaims both the spotlight and her narrative. 
  In addition to going behind the scenes of the seven seasons of Dance Moms, she shows how she fought against the negative perceptions that dominated her tween and teen years and emerged as a confident young woman secure in her talents and her direction. Anyone who has ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, or stuck at the bottom of the pyramid will be inspired by Nia’s story of overcoming. “Despite barriers and constant naysayers, assumptions and criticisms, only you know who you are inside and out,” Nia says. “And you have the power to create your own narrative, your own level of success.”

  The Road to Riverdance

  Bill Whelan

  Riverdance exploded across the stage at Dublin's Point Theatre one spring evening in 1994 during a seven-minute interval of the Eurovision Song Contest hosted by Ireland. It was a watershed moment in the cultural history of a country embracing the future, a confident leap into world music grounded in the footfall of the choreographed kick-line. It was a moment forty-five years in the making for its composer.
  In this tenderly unfurled memoir Bill Whelan rehearses a lifetime of unconscious preparation as step by step he revisits his past, from with his Barrington Street home in 1950s Limerick, to the forcing ground of University College Dublin and the Law Library during the 1960s, to his attic studio in Ranelagh. Along the way the reader is introduced to people and places in the immersive world of fellow musicians, artists and producers, friends and collaborators, embracing the spectrum of Irish music as it broke boundaries, entering the global slipstream of the 1980s and 1990s. As art and commerce fused, dramas and contending personalities come to view behind the arras of stage, screen and recording desk.
  Whelan pays tribute to a parade of those who formed his world. He describes the warmth and sustenance of his Limerick childhood, his parents and Denise Quinn, won through assiduous courtship; the McCourts and Jesuit fathers of his early days, the breakthrough with a tempestuous Richard Harris who summoned him to London; Danny Doyle, Shay Healy, Dickie Rock, Planxty, The Dubliners and Stockton's Wing, Noel Pearson, Seán Ó Riada; working with Jimmy Webb, Leon Uris, The Corrs, Paul McGuinness, Moya Doherty, John McColgan, Jean Butler and Michael Flatley.
  Written with wry, inimitable Irish humour and insight, Bill Whelan's self deprecation allows us to to see the players in all their glory, vulnerability and idiosyncracy. This fascinating work reveals the nuts, bolts, sheer effort and serendipities that formed the road to Riverdance in his reinvention of the Irish tradition for a modern age. As the show went on to perform to millions worldwide, Whelan was honoured with a 1997 Grammy Award when Riverdance was named the 'Best Musical Show Album.' Richly detailed and illustrated, The Road to Riverdance forms an enduring repository of memory for all concerned with the performing arts.
