AMC Networks along with Stareable Fest, the premier web series and indie TV festival, announced the three finalists selected in AMC's Best Female Creator category at this year's inaugural event in Los Angeles.
Following a successful partnership in 2020 and 2021, AMC once again teamed with Stareable and sponsored the prize for the best female creator category. To be eligible to win, the majority of the show’s creator/director/producer team must be made up of women. The three lucky finalists not only have the chance to join AMC Networks’ team as writers, directors and producers, but their content may also be considered for acquisition by AMCN for its various streaming platforms.
AMC Networks selected the following creators and their projects as finalists for its award:
This is not a hotel (Comedy ): A mother and a daughter in her 20s sharing a roof again in a 55 square meters apartment.
Black Kung Fu Chick (Drama): A South L.A. teen struggles to achieve her dreams with the help of a martial arts master.
Juliet (Drama): A transgender teenager battles prejudice and her own self-doubt to audition for the female lead in her high school’s play.
"We're so thrilled for AMC Networks to present our Best Female Creator prize for the third year in a row, including our new LA event,” Ajay Kishore, founder and CEO of Stareable, said in a statement. “AMC, with its dedication to amplifying diverse voices, has been the perfect partner for our work in elevating inspiring and talented female creators making the next generation of incredible television.”
All festival Official Selections will be considered for meetings with industry executives as part of the Stareable Fest Marketplace. In past years, award winners have been acquired by major networks, studios, and platforms.
The festival will provide opportunities for talented creators to meet and engage with top industry executives. This year’s L.A.  event will take place April 21-23, and tickets can be purchased here. Attendees will enjoy screenings, workshops, panels, an industry marketplace, a live pitch competition, and an awards ceremony honoring the best creators and talent in the business.
