NYWIFT Season Kickoff…On the Road to the Emmy’s at the Museum of the Moving Image

It’s time for one of the most popular events of the year – the Annual NYWIFT Season Kickoff celebrating our fabulous members! Raise a glass to toast the 2019-2020 programming season and welcome new Board President Jamie Zelermyer and our newly elected board members, followed by an intimate conversation with several of the Emmy nominees we are proud to call part of the NYWIFT community. Catch up with your NYWIFT friends (and make some new ones!) as you mingle at the Museum of the Moving Image before we move into the theater for a panel discussion. A diverse mix of nominees - representing the wide array of professions that make up the NYWIFT community - will offer behind-the-scenes insight into some of this year's most celebrated television programs: Senior Associate Producer Brittany Clemons (Outstanding Research, Hope & Fury: MLK, the Movement and the Media – NBC), Producers Stacey L. Holman and Cyndee Readdean (Outstanding Historical Documentary, Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Black Colleges and Universities – PBS), and Costume Designer Melissa Toth (Outstanding Costume Design, Fosse/Verdon – FX).
