Session

The Personal Project: One-On-One with Pamela Adlon

SPEAKER: PAMELA ADLON, Executive Producer, Writer, Director, Actor, Better Things

MODERATOR: JILL BERNSTEIN, editorial director, Fast Company

 

Pamela Adlon spent most of her almost 40-year entertainment career under the radar, playing supporting roles or doing voice work in nearly 200 films and shows (including King of the Hill). Her acclaimed show, Better Things, now in its third season on FX, has opened up a whole new set of opportunities for the Hollywood veteran—and responsibilities, too. Fast Company explores how Adlon handles numerous jobs at once, hires and motivates creative talent, and manages today’s ever-shifting cultural dynamics.
