Marshall Herskovitz to
moderate session featuring producers of “The Big C,” “Parenthood,” “Sons of
Anarchy” and “House of Cards.”

Los Angeles—SIM
Digital, one of the leading suppliers of digital production equipment and
post production services in North America, is sponsoring a special session on
the role of the television showrunner at the Producers Guild of America’s 2013
Produced By Conference. Hit the Ground
Showrunning will be moderated by Marshall Herskovitz, President Emeritus of
the PGA, and will occur on Saturday, June 8th at 11:15 a.m. at 20th
Century Fox Studios in Los Angeles.

The session will examine the role of the showrunner in
scripted television. Arguably the most powerful producers in the entertainment
landscape, showrunners face daunting challenges including the incredible
competition in the television marketplace and the demands of highly-paid
talent. One of Hollywood’s most successful showrunners, Herskovitz was behind
such hits as thirtysomething. Speakers
will include Darlene Hunt (The Big C, 90210, Save Me), Jason Katims (Parenthood, Friday
Night Lights, Roswell),
Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy, The Shield) and Beau Willimon (House of
Cards, The Ides of March).
