SUMMARY:Thinking Outside the Box
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales hosted a discussion about episodic television directors Jennifer Arnold (Younger)\, Jennifer Phang (Resident Alien)\, Kelly Park (Punky Brewster)\, and Ro Haber (Pride). \nThis dynamic discussion with working episodic television directors covered prep\, production and post in a fast-paced environment; what happens in a tone meeting; how to communicate with actors on set; and each speaker’s unique career path. How do you break into directing television? How do you prepare to helm an episode of a popular show? What is it like being a “guest” on set? As productions resume and we return to set\, can we also use this opportunity to create a more inclusive\, humane and thoughtful work place?

SUMMARY:Walking Boldly
DESCRIPTION:Film Fatales hosted a round table discussion with Showrunners\, Writers\, and Creators about breaking barriers in Episodic Television with Emily Spivack (Worn Stories)\, Ilse Fernandez (Cyberwar)\, Mel Shimkovitz (High Maintenance)\, and Xan Aranda (My Love). \nTogether we can amplify creative voices who are breaking barriers in episodic television. How do you pitch a show that has never been made before? How do you maintain your distinctive voice and build community around it? Does a unique approach help you break in\, or does it need to be packaged for the industry? How do you choose your battles and what have been your biggest challenges? What does it take to be part of the larger paradigm shift that’s happening in the episodic world and where do we go from here?

DESCRIPTION:Revisit a Film Fatales discussion about Making or Breaking a Story with episodic television creators\, writers\, and showrunners Alexandra Cunningham (Dirty John)\, Kitao Sakurai (The Eric Andre Show)\, Shoshannah Stern (This Close) and Marie Jamora (Family Style). \nThis panel was an open conversation with episodic television creators and showrunners to discuss how they are pushing boundaries and conventions in the stories that they choose to tell.

SUMMARY:Creating Your Own Work
DESCRIPTION:Revisit this discussion about Creating Your Own Work with episodic television and feature film writer/directors Isidora Marras (I Am Not Lorena) Jennifer Arnold (Shameless)\, Marta Cunningham (Fear The Walking Dead)\, Susan Youssef (Marjoun and the Flying Headscarf)\, and Vanessa Parise (Charmed). Moderated by Meera Menon (Equity). \nThis round table discussion explored how we support each other’s unique voices to create our own work. During Covid\, our group of director friends started a writing circle that has changed the way we approach our careers. We are working together to support each other’s unique voices\, to create truly individual and inspired work\, not the stories we’ve heard before. Covid has forced us to slow down. We’ve found a silver lining in creating a new space to delve deep and listen to our inner storytellers\, and help each other to tell our stories in the most impactful and engaging ways. As we develop our individual careers\, we believe success comes from working together.
