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. In 2014, the festival presented its first individual achievement award to Henry Winkler, followed by James L. Brooks in 2015. For our third award, we were honored that the Godfather of Television, Norman Lear, would come to Austin to screen his Sundance Film Festival documentary “Just Another Version of You” which further proved his impact on the medium, followed by a conversation with Katey Sagal. “TV LEAVES A DIFFERENT LEGACY DUE TO ‘WRITER DOMINANCE.’ WRITERS HAVE MORE CONTROL ON TELEVISION, MORE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE, THAT’S ALWAYS BEEN TRUE, AND THAT’S WHAT SETS IT APART.” - JAMES L. BROOKS PITCH COMPETITION PRESENTED WITH FINAL DRAFT, INC. 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. 409 VIDEO SUBMISSIONS were received and narrowed down to 25 SEMI-FINALISTS by a panel of screeners. 2016 JUDGES 2016 FINALISTS INCLUDED Ryan Andolina Franklin Leonard 5 Comedy, 5 Drama Anna Fricke Noreen O’Toole 4 Texas, 3 New York, 2 California, 2 Georgia, Henry Goldblatt Bryan Seabury 1 Maine, 1 New Jersey, 1 Vancouver Kyle Killen Graham Yost 7 Males, 6 Females Kate Lambert 7 Solo Pitchers, 3 were in pairs/groups. 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. Past Winners have been signed by representation by the end of the weekend, have pitched to Networks/Studios such as Sony TV, 20th Century Fox, NBC/Universal, Happy Madison, Paramount TV, and have established new creative relationships for upcoming projects. 2016 SPECIAL EVENTS OPENING NIGHT launched the festival with a red carpet and premiere screening of USA Network’s QUEEN OF THE SOUTH followed by an exclusive Q&A with showrunner and cast members. The after-event at downtown Austin’s Cedar Door had music, premium food, a branded Smilebooth that put you on the Queen’s throne, and beverages from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Tequila 512, and Shiner Beers. CLOSING NIGHT was hosted by ATX and Entertainment Weekly with an UGLY BETTY REUNION featuring Silvio Horta, America Ferrera, Ana Ortiz, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Eric Mabius and a total of 12 cast members at the historic Paramount Theatre, followed by an after-event at Parkside with music, premium food, a branded Smilebooth with beverages from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Tequila 512, and Shiner Beers. ATX TRIVIA NIGHT, PRESENTED WITH GEEKS WHO DRINK, brought ATX attendees together like never before to test their TV knowledge. Held on Opening Night immediately following our successful premiere screening of QUEEN OF THE SOUTH, over 50 teams battled it out to win 2017 Festival Badges in a special TV-themed Geeks Who Drink Pub Trivia Quiz to become ultimate TV Trivia Champions. THE FILM TEXAS RECEPTION, presented by the Texas Association of Film Commissions, gave our panelists time to interact with each other and catch up with old friends at Vinaigrette. With sponsors Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Topo Chico, and Shiner Beers, our friends from LA and New York had the perfect place to get to know Austin’s very own TV industry leaders and to learn how they, too, can film in Texas.

    Juno Talent: Ellen Page, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Alison Janney, J. K. Simmons, Olivia Thirlby. Date of review: Thursday 13th December, 2007 Director: Jason Reitman Duration: 91 minutes Classification: M We rate it: 4 and a half stars. Jason Reitman, son of ultra-mainstream (and very successful) Hollywood director Ivan Reitman (he of Ghostbusters, Stripes and Kindergarten Cop fame) may just be able to move out from under his father’s significant shadow with this wonderful film. Jason Reitman’s breakthrough film as a director was 2005’s Thank You for Smoking, a cleverly written and very well performed black comedy that was so well pulled-off that one felt in the presence of promising new talent. It seems that feeling was correct, because with Juno, a very different film to its predecessor, Reitman has made an utterly assured and charming comedy/drama, and has drawn tremendously convincing and engaging performances from the entire cast. The talented young actress Ellen Page (who was so memorable in the confronting thriller Hard Candy) plays the titular character, an intelligent, articulate, out-of-left- field high-school student who, as our story opens, finds herself pregnant to her close friend and would-be boyfriend, Bleeker. Being smart, strong and self-possessed, Juno confronts her situation level-headedly, and decides, on reflection, that she will go through with the pregnancy and offer her child for adoption to a couple who are unable to conceive. With the support of her family - stepmother Bren (the wonderful Alison Janney) and father Mac (the ever-humourous J.

Indeed I do not hesitate to say that it has done more to enhance our understandings of the challenges of urban life and urban inequality than any other media event or scholarly publication, including studies by social scientists…The Wire develops morally complex characters on each side of the law, and with its scrupulous exploration of the inner workings of various institutions, including drug-dealing gangs, the police, politicians, unions, public schools, and the print media, viewers become aware that individuals’ decisions and behaviour are often shaped by - and indeed limited by - social, political, and economic forces beyond their control".
