The Tv Campfire

Mo Ryan's book Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood is a deep dive into the trends that led to #MeToo and various racial reckonings in the industry, as well as a look at how much has changed in TV and film (and how much hasn’t). She joins industry veterans Melinda Hsu Taylor and Javier Grillo-Marxuach (two respected voices also highlighted in the book) for a discussion about the industry's entrenched problems, modeling better forms of leadership, and why so many Hollywood workers are restive, on strike and/or already burning down the old Hollywood in order to build something better.This conversation was recorded live at ATX TV Festival Season 12 (June 1-4, 2023) in Austin, TX.PANELISTS:Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Co-EP / Writer, Cowboy Bebop, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance)Melinda Hsu Taylor (Creator / Showrunner / EP, Tom Swift; Writer / Showrunner / EP, Nancy Drew)Mo Ryan (Author, Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hol
