In this video, six industry executives reveal how the recent turmoil -- mergers, reorganizations, new services and platforms--has reshaped the TV marketplace. Led by moderators Sarah Timberman and Dante Di Loreto, panelists Carrie Gillogly, Yvette Urbina, Kathryn Tyus-Adair and Justin Rosenblatt share their roadmap for navigating this new landscape. They reveal what they're looking for, what works for them in a pitch and discuss why some buyers prefer an ongoing series over a limited series. They discuss the value of packaging a project and emphasize that well-crafted, compelling characters, quality content and a unique voice trumps all. The insight they share into the buyers' perspective and process will benefit anyone seeking to sell a tv series in today's marketplace.
Other conversations in the series include those with editor Dylan Tichenor, actor/director Ed Harris, writer/director Karyn Kusama, writer/director/producer Kasi Lemmons, writer/director Rick Famuyiwa, cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt, and others.
