will feature a VIP panel that includes Ovation-nominated director and
former CAA literary agent Michael Peretzian; film producer Robert
Papazian (Rome); novelist Aris Janigian (This Angelic Land), and
Emmy-winning TV producer Hank Saroyan. More VIP panelists will be
announced closer to the event. The panel will be moderated by ADAA
Founder, writer/producer Bianca Bagatourian.
The panel is a rare opportunity to learn key strategies straight from
current industry leaders. A wine and cheese reception will follow.
The panel event is sponsored by City National Bank. Other sponsors

donors.
On the same evening, ADAA will be presenting the 4th Biennial Lillian &

by Yervand Kochar in collaboration with Jeani Di Carlo; and "The Second
Journey," by Levon Minasian & Eric de Rocquefeuil. The three finalist
screenplays are being evaluated by an esteemed honorary jury: Anahid
Nazarian (Producer, American Zoetrope Productions), Michael Goorjian
(Emmy-Winning Actor) and Hank Saroyan (Emmy Winning TV Producer).
The Lillian and Varnum Paul Screenwriting Award is administered by ADAA
through the generosity of the Paul Family through the Western Diocese of
the Armenian Apostolic Church, under the auspices of His Eminence
Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of the Western Diocese.
The Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance's mission is to make the Armenian
