The Tv Campfire

The first release from ATX Festival Season 8 (2019) is here! We’re kicking off with a panel that truly kicked off the festival (June 6, 2019) and we couldn’t be prouder of this conversation with our partners at Vanity Fair. Though the television industry may at times be ruthless, there are countless powerful stories of female partnerships that thrive despite the industry's hyper-competitive nature. In this panel, we explore several amazing friendships between women who partnered up at the beginning of their careers or at some point along the way (temporarily or permanently) to encourage one another, create a culture of empowerment, and produce some great TV.Panelists: Lauren Whitney (Head of Television, Spyglass Media Group)Cori Wellins (Partner, Scripted Television, WME)Lisa Katz (Co-President, NBC Scripted Programming)Tracey Pakosta (Co-President, NBC Scripted Programming)Jenna Bans (Creator/Executive Producer, Good Girls)Retta (Actor, Good Girls)Moderator: Sonia Saraiya (Vanity Fair) ALERT: DISCO
