By: Emalia Hinden The last day! Today we went to ABC and learned about The Bachelor, which was interesting and terrifying (there are kiosks in the mall that can “see” your gender) and then I went to meet Justin by myself. It was so wonderful to talk to him and to learn about his life—he’s…

Track Eight
By: Emalia Hinden Today we went to ICM partners and met with Bryan Diperstein. I am meeting one of my family friends on Friday, Justin Lader, and he is represented by two agents at ICM. He told me to say “hello” to them if I could, but I did not see them. Bryan apparently is…
Hanging with Bill Maher’s Director at “Real Time” – Hofstra in L.A. Day 9
By: Sean McNally Our final day in L.A. began at ABC, where we got a chance to speak with their marketing team. They had a lovely breakfast spread for us laid out, and I had, get this—a cheese bagel. For the uninitiated, that’s exactly what it sounds like: a bagel with a slice of cheese…
That’s a Wrap!
By: Sophie Kabel Our last day in L.A. was just as amazing as the first. We were able to meet with Jill Gershman who is the SVP of marketing creative at ABC Entertainment. Jill and her team showed us a great presentation on how they market shows like The Bachelor. We then went to the…
Just Another L.A. Devotee
By: Brittany McGowan As I write this sitting in an office with the outside feeling like -6 degrees, I think back to the beautiful 70-degree weather that we left on Saturday. Visiting Los Angeles for the first time with a mix of learning and networking (and a hint of touring) was an experience I’m never…
Everyone is Watching
By: Mackenzie Carroll We kicked off our final day with a meeting at ABC Studios to speak with the SVP Entertainment Marketing Creative Jill Gershman and her marketing team. Together they walked us through their advertising campaign for the latest season of The Bachelor. Although it was very interesting, it was also a little scary…
Real Time
By: Mackenzie Carroll On Thursday, we met up with Bryan Diperstein of ICM. Bryan is intelligent, confident, and encouraging. It was interesting to hear about his busy work schedule as an agent and the process of selling a script to a studio. This trip has given me a behind-the-scenes look at the business and corporate…
Creative Marketing, Cancellations & Conclusions
By: Izzy Falkovich It’s hard to believe that our L.A. adventures have come to a close! The past 10 days have been nothing short of incredible, and our last day in L.A. was truly something. We started the day off with a meeting with Jill Gershman, who is the SVP of creative marketing at ABC….
Missing the Warm Weather
But most of all, missing the people who made it worthwhile.
Cut. Print. Back to NY.
By: Ben Gregory Just like that we’re back in freezing cold New York. I’m going to miss L.A. and cherish everything this trip did for me and my plans for post-graduation life. While I may not immediately take the leap to L.A., I hope to make my way westward somewhere within the next couple of years. All…
