Insider is looking for nominations for its second annual list of rising stars in the entertainment business.
Hollywood is going through a painful economic reset that has partly fueled historic strikes by writers and actors. Legacy media companies are heading toward more consolidation as they seek workable business models to please Wall Street. But they're losing ground in the streaming wars to the tech giants and racing to cut costs by cutting productions and staff.
Yet being a part of Hollywood's dream factory is still a huge draw for ambitious, creative people who love the glamour and grit of great storytelling for wide audiences.
The industry needs forward-looking professionals to carry filmed entertainment into the next era. That means talented executives from across development, production, marketing, social media, and more — dynamic leaders who can surprise and delight audiences with fresh series and films, cater to the streamers' changing tastes, leverage the power of data and multiple platforms, push social levers to find new audiences, and more.
Our criteria for nominations:
There's no age cutoff, but nominees must be at the early-to-middle stage of their career.
They should work for an established entertainment company, such as a studio, network, streaming platform, or production company.
Submissions coming from a company's PR teams should include no more than five nominations per major division. Each nominee should be submitted on a separate form.
Submit nominations through this Google form by 6 p.m. PT on November 3, 2023.
In the form, tell us why you or someone you know is on the path to becoming a leader in Hollywood.
Insider's list will be published in December. Nominees will be notified ahead of publication.
