NEW YORK – The Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced today its 2018 date and initial programming for the 5th edition of Produced By: New York. In addition to speaker Gail Berman, PGA President and Chairman and CEO of The Jackal Group, the popular session series,“Producing Masterclass: The Creative Collaborations,” returns for the fifth year in an expanded format that will encompass a total of 12 productions, featuring producers and their collaborators from some of the year’s most critically-acclaimed films. Produced By: New York 2018 is set for Saturday, November 10 with One Time Warner Center in New York serving as the venue for the fifth consecutive year.
“Producing Masterclass: The Creative Collaborations” features a producer from each film taking the stage with a key collaborator–– director, writer, actor, cinematographer, production designer, editor or composer––to discuss how their partnerships provided defining elements of their memorable films, setting them on course for the awards season. This year, for the first time “Masterclass” will be broken out into four distinct sessions, three focused on narrative features and one devoted exclusively to documentaries. Academy Award®-winning producer Bruce Cohen (“American Beauty”) and Mimi Valdés(“Hidden Figures”) will lead the discussions, which to date include: “The Favourite” director and producer Yorgos Lanthimos and writer Tony McNamara; “A Quiet Place” director, writer, and executive producer John Krasinski and producer Andrew Form; “RBG” producers and directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West; “Widows” director, writer, and producer Steve McQueen and producer Iain Canning; and “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” director and producer Morgan Neville and producer Caryn Capotosto.
In addition to the sessions, the Producers Guild will be introducing a new “Speed Networking” opportunity during the scheduled lunch break. This will give attendees a chance to network with other attendees including PGA members and non-members, Guild leadership, and exhibitors and sponsors.
