The creative minds behind the FXX hit Archer returned to ATX for the third time in Season 8. In this Q&A following a very-special- ATX-only version of an episode from the show's tenth season, you'll hear from the minds behind the animation and get some stories from the always charming star, H. Jon Benjamin.

Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy that follows Sterling Archer, Lana Kane and their crew of acid-tongued misfits onboard the M/V Seamus salvage ship. In season 10, an important question arises as they explore deep space and try to outsmart giant aliens, intergalactic pirates and vicious bounty hunters: how do they survive each other? Welcome to the space-tastic world of Archer: 1999.

Panelists:

• H. Jon Benjamin (Cast)
• Taylor Parrish (Lead Storyboard Artist)
• Chad Hurd (Producer/Art Director)

The first release from ATX Festival Season 8 (2019) is here! We’re kicking off with a panel that truly kicked off the festival (June 6, 2019) and we couldn’t be prouder of this conversation with our partners at Vanity Fair. 

Though the television industry may at times be ruthless, there are countless powerful stories of female partnerships that thrive despite the industry's hyper-competitive nature. In this panel, we explore several amazing friendships between women who partnered up at the beginning of their careers or at some point along the way (temporarily or permanently) to encourage one another, create a culture of empowerment, and produce some great TV.

Panelists:

• Lauren Whitney (Head of Television, Spyglass Media Group)
• Cori Wellins (Partner, Scripted Television, WME)
• Lisa Katz (Co-President, NBC Scripted Programming)
• Tracey Pakosta (Co-President, NBC Scripted Programming)
• Jenna Bans (Creator/Executive Producer, Good Girls)
• Retta (Actor, Good Girls)

Series Information:

Welcome to a special edition of The TV Campfire: Inside ATX! Following the success of the first season of our podcast series, we decided the next step in our journey would be to give TV fans, attendees and a brand new audience an inside look at what it takes to build an annual festival. As we prepped for the 8th Season of the ATX Television Festival, we decided to document our entire process - from programming topical panels, negotiating network premieres, finding sponsors and yes, dealing with all the unexpected obstacles (both professional and personal) encountered along the way.

Over the course of 6 episodes, you’ll get an inside look into not only the programming and operations, but the relationships and passions that go into building an event from the ground up. This is a behind-the-scenes look at how and why two self-described TV fanatics decided to start an annual “TV camp for grown-ups” and all the blood, sweat, tears, and laughter that happens along the way!
