Michelle Khare, host of Challenge Accepted, discusses the flexibility digital creators inherently maintain by operating outside of the traditional studio system at the Tribeca X + The Female Quotient Emmy’s event

“The barrier that I think has invisibly existed between traditional media and digital media is slowly becoming hazier and hazier.” - Michelle Khare, Writer, Producer, Director and Host of Challenge Accepted. Michelle joined Cynthia Littleton (Co-Editor-in-Chief at Variety) last weekend at our Tribeca X Emmy’s event with The Female Quotient, to discuss the rise of her YouTube channel and the evolution of digital creators within the larger entertainment ecosystem.

“At Lilly, our work with patients has shown us that stories don’t just entertain. They shape culture and drive change.” - Lina Polimeni, Chief Corporate Brand Officer at Eli Lilly and Company. During our event in Los Angeles with The Female Quotient, Lina Polimeni joined Bryce Norbitz, Tig Notaro and Cynthia Littleton to formally announce the Incubator Program, a new initiative from Tribeca Studios and Eli Lilly & Company, which aims to empower rising filmmakers to more earnestly portray diseases and health-related stories on-screen. The program is an outgrowth of a landmark study, sponsored by Lilly in partnership with Dr. Stacy L. S. and the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, that highlights how film and television shows rarely represent people living with diseases in ways that are accurate or authentic. Submissions to the program open on September 24th. Read more about the program here: https://lnkd.in/gDuFq8xy
