In a S.O.U.L Fest exclusive, Iyare Igiehon will be in conversation with veteran producer and creative executive Kelly Edwards.
Mentored by legendary director Garry Marshall at Disney and famed producer Laura Ziskin at Sony, Edwards eventually shifted her focus to television, where she served as a comedy executive at Fox and headed up UPN’s Comedy division.
After producing a drama series for Paramount, she moved on to NBCUniversal, where she oversaw diversity for their twenty networks. Edwards spent her final stint as an exec creating HBO and Warner Media Entertainment's emerging artists programs.
Ahead of her new book The Executive Chair: A Writer’s Guide To TV Series Development, released on 5th October, we are thrilled to welcome Kelly to S.O.U.L Fest 2021.
