SAGINDIE AND SAG-AFTRA FOUNDATION EVENTS INCLUDE A CONVERSATION WITH TATIANA MASLANY

SAG-AFTRA, SAGindie and the SAG-AFTRA Foundation are returning to Austin with an exciting schedule of events at this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) interactive, film and music conference.

Events include A SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversation with Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), as well as a filmmaker happy hour and networking event co-hosted by SAGindie and the Directors Guild of America (DGA). 

“We are so proud of our members and the work that they will be showcasing during South by Southwest and are excited to once again participate in this international event,” said SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris.

Added SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director David White, “We are pleased to return to South by Southwest. SAG-AFTRA represents performers that work in film, music and new media, which form the heart of the conference. Our presence allows us to support our participating members as well as to discover opportunities that benefit our overall membership.”

The SAG-AFTRA Foundation proudly presents a conversation with Emmy Award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany. Moderated by actor, comedian Scott Aukerman (Comedy Bang! Bang!), the discussion will reflect on Maslany’s creative approach to her craft. Maslany has garnered numerous accolades for her film and television roles. In 2010 she received the Sundance Breakout Actress Award, in 2014 she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and in 2015 she received her first Emmy Award nomination, going on to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2016. This past year brought Maslany to the large and small screen, with a starring role opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in the film Stronger, based on a memoir by a Boston Marathon bombing survivor, and the 5th and final season of BBC America’s Orphan Black, where she played multiple roles.
