Baron + Toluca
Panelists: Majandra Delfino, Brendan Fehr, Arthur Martinez, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Micah Fowler, David Walton90 min.
Join us for the official premiere of “Baron + Toluca,” an independent pilot from “Roswell” co-stars Majandra Delfino and Brendan Fehr! Described as a “spiritual successor” to “Roswell,” the series follows exes Jake Baron (Brendan Fehr) and Toluca Mendez (Majandra Delfino), who find themselves reunited in a familiar part of New Mexico – much to the delight of one and the horror of the other. Forced together by unforeseen circumstances, they must remain there together, to try and unravel a paranormal mystery threatening to kill them both. That is, if they don’t kill each other first. Following the premiere screening, Delfino and Fehr will be joined by fellow cast members for a conversation about reuniting for a new project, their experience producing an independent pilot, and their future plans for Baron and Toluca’s story.

A Conversation on Consent
Panelists: Nick Wechsler, Additional TBA30 min.
Passionate kisses, steamy sex scenes, forbidden affairs — TV has no shortage of PDA, but instances of consent are much more rare. Panelists will discuss the various factors that go into shaping what does/doesn’t make it on screen, and how the presence of on screen consent (or lack thereof) affects not only the story and performance being given, but the audience’s perception of what is considered “romantic” or “loving.”
As We See It with Jason Katims & Sue Ann Pien
Panelists: Jason Katims, Sue Ann Pien30 min.
“As We See It” creator, showrunner, and executive producer Jason Katims and star Sue Ann Pien take a deep dive look into the heartwarming dramedy’s first season, the importance of foregrounding the perspectives of three different autistic characters, and how they balance the comedic and emotional elements of the show. PLEASE NOTE: Micro Programming is open to CAMP BADGES.
