AMC joins with Stareable Fest to discover female creators

AMC Networks joins forces with Stareable Fest to find the best new female creative talent in a once-in-a-lifetime competition.

There’s a new prize coming to Stareable Fest 2020 and it has the potential to change the lives of female creators looking to break into Hollywood. AMC Networks will be the female category award sponsor, and finalists will have a potentially life-changing opportunity to meet with AMC executives.

Like so many other industries, breaking into television can be a challenge and many industry veterans credit a chance meeting or unexpected opportunity as the reason they are successful today.

With AMC Networks sponsoring the female category award, finalists will be able to meet with executives. According to the Stareable website, “These lucky finalists not only have the chance to join AMC’s team as writers, directors and producers, but their content may also be considered for acquisition by AMC for its various streaming platforms.”

In order to qualify, the majority of the creative team – creators, directors, producers – must be composed of females. The goal of the female award category is to advance the talented female creators who are so often underrepresented in Hollywood.

Stareable Fest is a celebration of the best and brightest web series creators. This year’s festival, slated for October 18-18 at New York City’s Public Hotel, offers creators a chance to learn about the industry, providing tools, connections and resources to help them succeed in a booming industry that is experiencing exponential growth. Some of the resources are geared toward helping creators to build an audience while others help aspiring content creators to learn how to profit from their work.

Needless to say, meeting with AMC Networks executives could yield an opportunity for creators to present their work to industry experts, and who knows where that could go?

As of this writing, Stareable Fest 2020 is still slated to take place in New York but with schedules changing amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that dates can change. Stay tuned to the Stareable Fest website for more information.
