The event also has made other programming changes amid the strike, including adding new writer-focused discussions, while panels focused on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers,' 'Andor,' 'Tiny Beautiful Things' and 'Dawson’s Creek' are among those canceled as panelists show their support for the WGA.
The official description of the panel is as follows: “With fair pay, streaming residuals, artificial intelligence, the size of writers rooms, and on-set experience all on the table, the writers of the WGA have gone pencils down for the first time in 15 years. During this panel writers discuss first-hand the issues at stake, the changes they’re fighting for; and why the strike is necessary to safeguard the future of not just writers, but all entertainment unions and creatives.
Organizers said that the studios and networks have shifted programming representation to focus on actors, directors, cinematography, casting, costumes, music, non-writing producers and more. “ATX TV Festival has always been a place of celebration and community,” ATX TV co-presidents and founders Caitlin McFarland and Emily Gipson said. “It is where important conversations are had about the history and future of television in a safe and inclusive environment. We will maintain these tenants as we believe education and conversation between both Industry and consumers are needed now more than ever.
Meanwhile, four panels have been canceled as the WGA members who were scheduled to be involved expressed support for their series and teams but said they are choosing to stand with the WGA and will not be attending. Those panels were to spotlight 25th anniversary screening and conversation.
