Aymar Jean Christian and Miriam Petty on 'Insecure', 'Queen Sugar' & the Branding Quality TV

'How do representations of black women/women of color "brand" TV networks and/or film/TV studios? Audiences joined professors Aymar Jean Christian and Miriam Petty as they watched clips of recent critically acclaimed cable and TV shows like Insecure and Queen Sugar and discussed how they fit into strategies of major film and TV brands. This screening also included the screening of a Chicago-made indie TV series developed by Christian with a Q&A focused on their artistic and marketing goals.
