The Tv Campfire

Representatives from Everytown, Brady, and Hollywood, Health & Society are joined by three writer/producers for a discussion about mindfulness & conscious storytelling around depictions of gun violence and gun safety on TV. They explore the ways in which TV has & has not engaged with our real-life epidemic of gun violence across the U.S. — from conversations about how and when guns are deployed or depicted in scripted series, to gun storage and safety both onscreen and off, to empowering storytellers to play a proactive role in the movement to prevent gun violence.Learn more about the media advocacy guides referenced in this conversation:Understanding and Depicting Gun Violence in Entertainment (Everytown)Trigger Warning: Gun Guidelines for the Media (Hollywood, Health & Society)This conversation was recorded live at ATX TV Festival Season 12 (June 1-4, 2023) in Austin, TX.PANELISTS:Dave Andron (Creator / Showrunner / EP, Justified: City Primeval)Melinda Hsu Taylor (Creator / Showrunner /
