It’s back! Following the beloved first run of IndieWire’s “Pass the Remote” panel series at the Vidiots Foundation in Los Angeles’s Eagle Rock neighborhood in spring 2024, the series is coming back. “Pass the Remote” launches once again on Tuesday April 1, presented in partnership with Disney.
The first panel will be about the art of casting, and feature casting directors Tiffany Little Canfield (“Paradise,” “Only Murders in the Building,” and “Doctor Odyssey”), Wendy O’Brien (“Abbott Elementary“), Danielle Aufiero (“Good American Family”), Seth Yanklewitz (“Deli Boys”), Julie Ashton (“Mid-Century Modern”), and Josh Einsohn (“Paradise”) with more to be announced.
The second panel will focus on music composers and take place Tuesday April 15. There’s also a panel discussion about “Abbott Elementary” featuring Quinta Brunson set for Tuesday May 20, with two more panels announcements to come.
“Pass the Remote” will continue through the end of May. IndieWire moderators will interview talent from shows across Disney’s linear and streaming portfolio.
“We love hosting these screenings with our partners at Vidiots Foundation and Disney,” said Dana Harris-Bridson, senior VP and Editor-in-Chief at IndieWire. “The IndieWire moderators are excellent, the panelists are even better, and the audience tells us how much they appreciate hearing first-hand stories from the people who make their favorite shows. It’s becoming a great tradition.”
“We’re very excited to partner again with Disney on the Pass The Remote series at our favorite LA theater, Vidiots Foundation,” said IndieWire Senior VP & Publisher James Israel. “We made a lot of magic together last Emmy season with screenings of ‘Abbott Elementary,’ ‘Reservations Dogs,’ ‘Jim Henson Idea Man,’ and top talent from FX, Hulu, Nat Geo, Disney, and ABC. The programming this year is even better.”
Read on for the current list of screenings and dates. RSVPs coming soon for the later events. For now register here for the April 1 casting panel.
