Holiday Brunch NYC 2019

12-7-19 | 11:30 am - 2:30 pm EST

On December 7th, at Ginny’s at Red Rooster in Harlem, we recognized women who are making a mark in the entertainment industry. These ladies are paving the way for greater female participation above and below the line. Members, friends, and the folks who have worked with these remarkable women in raised a glass to them as we celebrated these legendary women’s wisdom, leadership, and experience on a special panel.  The honorees gave us their insights on a gamut of topics from costuming period shows, to the latest in immersive entertainment of the not too distant future.

Honorees

>Neema Barnette, Emmy Award-Winning Director/Producer (Queen Sugar, Luke Cage, A Different World)

Patrizia Von Brandenstein, Academy Award-Winning Production Designer (Amadeus, Beat Street, The People vs. Larry Flynt)

Kristina Reed,  Academy Award-Winning Production Executive (Frozen, Princess and The Frog, Tangled) and Senior Vice President, Creative Development and Strategy Madison Square Garden Sphere

Each woman had an equally legendary toast master who introduced her.
