The Los Angeles Rom Com Fest is returning for a second year and will be held from Thursday, June 25 – Sunday, June 28, 2020.
The festival is only growing after last year’s successful debut and “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” creator Rachel Bloom as well as “Legally Blonde” and “10 Things I Hate About You” writer Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith have both been added to the festival’s advisory board.
“Our first year was a dream come true — for the fans, filmmakers and all those who love rom coms — we exceeded everyone’s expectations and we can’t wait to do it all again this summer,” festival founder and executive director Miraya Berke said in a statement.
The inaugural festival, in 2019, featured anniversary screenings of “10 Things I Hate About You” and “Never Been Kissed” as well as screenings of new romantic comedies, including Joseph Cross’ “Summer Nights.” The festival also includes special events and initiatives...

Jenny Buckland addresses the Alea conference
Digital disruption is upending the media industry and creating enormous uncertainty. Audiences are fragmenting and going elsewhere and free to air television is struggling. So it’s relying, more than ever, on live event broadcasting like sport and reality TV contests, and less and less on drama.
This leaves Australian television drama in a very vulnerable position, and Australian children’s drama in an even more vulnerable position.
The children’s drama quota that the commercial broadcasters have to meet is responsible for a nearly 40 year legacy of Australian children’s drama, including programs like Winners, Round The Twist, Spellbinder, Blinky Bill, Lockie Leonard, Mortified and many more.

The Australian Directors Guild has named Evan Clarry as the guild’s new chapter head in Queensland and Pearl Tan as head of the Nsw chapter.
Clarry takes over from Sally McKenzie, who stepped down after many years of service to the Adg, and Tan succeeds Tony Davison.
