CLAIR ACHIEVEMENT IN TELEVISION EXCELLENCE AWARD From its inception, ATX has set out to honor impactful and insightful television programming, along with the cast members and creatives who shaped those series.

FOLLOWS WHAT IS GOING ON OUT THERE.” — MARCY CARSEY THE PITCH COMPETITION ATX Television Festival and Final Draft, Inc. partnered to create an invaluable opportunity for industry hopefuls to gain rare access to both TV creatives and Studio decision-makers. Contestants submitted pitches in the form of 90 second videos via YouTube that were viewed by a panel of industry judges who narrowed them to 10 finalists. They could pitch any type of show they wanted: a 1/2 hour drama for a traditional network, an hour drama for cable, a hybrid for original online content. The only guideline was that it be for a scripted (non-reality) series and pitched in under a minute and a half. Those 10 FINALISTS then pitched for 3 minutes LIVE at the festival, where judges chose one (1) winner. 557 VIDEO SUBMISSIONS were received and narrowed down to 20 SEMI-FINALISTS by a panel of screeners. PRESENTED WITH 2018 JUDGES Anna Fricke, Creator/Showrunner & Franklin Leonard, Founder of THE BLACK LIST Bryan Seabury, Senior Vice President Drama Development, CBS TV Studios Katy Rozelle, Senior Vice President Development, Paramount Television Dina Hillier, Vice President Original Series, Disney Channel Kaitlin Dahill, Director of Development, Chernin Entertainment 2018 FINALISTS INCLUDED 5 Comedy, 5 Drama • 8 Females, 6 Males • 6 Solo Pitchers, 4 Pairs WINNER & PRIZE All 10 Finalists received badges to the festival and a copy of Final Draft. The winner received a mentor session with a Pitch Judge to help hone and develop his pitch, as well as an opportunity to pitch the finalized version to a Studio/Network partner of the festival. The winner also spent one week sitting in on an active writers room (complete with a one-on-one lunch with the showrunner), a three-month subscription to THE BLACK LIST, and an Industry Badge to ATX Television Festival 2018. Past Winners have been signed by representation by the end of the weekend, pitched to Networks/Studios such as Sony TV, 20th Century Fox, NBC/Universal, Happy Madison, Paramount TV, and established new creative relationships for upcoming projects. 2018 SPECIAL EVENTS OPENING NIGHT launched Season 7 with a red carpet and premiere screening of HBO’s SHARP OBJECTS followed by a Q&A with actor/EP Amy Adams, director/ EP Jean-Marc Vallée, showrunner/EP Marti Noxon, author/writer Gillian Flynn, Blumhouse Productions Founder & CEO Jason Blum, eOne Television’s President of Global Scripted Programming Pancho Mansfield, and HBO’s EVP of Programming, David Levine.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

The 1984-92 run of The Cosby Show and his books Fatherhood and Time Flies established new benchmarks on how success is measured. His status at the top of the TVQ survey year after year continues to confirm his appeal as one of the most popular personalities in America. For his philanthropic efforts and positive influence as a performer and author, Cosby was honored with a 1998 Kennedy Center Honors Award. In 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor, was the 2009 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the Marian Anderson Award.

Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.
