“This book stands out as a unique and timely contribution, offering the first comprehensive, empirically grounded study of Danish media for audiences from toddlers to teenagers. Redvall effectively uses her “Screen Idea System” framework to analyze this often-overlooked sector, brilliantly illuminating how screenwriters, producers, and commissioners engage audiences and reshape script creation, including co-creative practices with children. This work provides valuable global lessons, bridging theoretical frameworks with practical industry knowledge that resonates far beyond a single nation”.
