IndieWire and Disney are ready to “Pass the Remote” once again. Our TV FYC screening series has returned to the Vidiots Foundation in Los Angeles’s Eagle Rock neighborhood for more lively conversations with top industry talent.
Our next panel will take place on April 15 and feature TV composers Siddhartha Khosla (“Only Murders in the Building,” “Paradise”),The Newton Brothers (“Daredevil: Born Again”), Michael Paraskevas (“Agatha All Along”), Ariel Marx (“Dying for Sex”), and music supervisors Tiffany Anders (“Good American Family”) and Jen Ross (“English Teacher”).
We’ll also be hosting a panel on Saturday May 3 about the new documentary “Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius),” with the director Questlove and producer Joseph Patel attening, and a panel with Quinta Brunson about “Abbott Elementary” on Tuesday May 20. And more will still be announced.
“Pass the Remote” will continue through the end of May. IndieWire moderators will interview talent from shows across Disney’s linear and streaming portfolio.
“We love hosting these screenings with our partners at Vidiots Foundation and Disney,” said Dana Harris-Bridson, senior VP and Editor-in-Chief at IndieWire. “The IndieWire moderators are excellent, the panelists are even better, and the audience tells us how much they appreciate hearing first-hand stories from the people who make their favorite shows. It’s becoming a great tradition.”
“We’re very excited to partner again with Disney on the Pass The Remote series at our favorite LA theater, Vidiots Foundation,” said IndieWire Senior VP & Publisher James Israel. “We made a lot of magic together last Emmy season with screenings of ‘Abbott Elementary,’ ‘Reservations Dogs,’ ‘Jim Henson Idea Man,’ and top talent from FX, Hulu, Nat Geo, Disney, and ABC. The programming this year is even better.”
