About Willa Kramer Pasternak

I\'m a media and broadcast professional with years of experience in television and broadcasting, spanning the areas of strategic planning, content curation and acquisitions, title inventory operations, and program scheduling. I currently work in program planning and content strategy for AMC Networks, where I schedule the SundanceTV linear network with an eye to strategic long-term planning. Before my move to SundanceTV, I worked in HBO’s content planning and strategy team, scheduling the linear channel Cinemax Action and working on linear and nonlinear planning strategy for the HBO, Cinemax and HBO Max brands. I graduated from NYU Steinhardt with a Master of Arts in Media, Culture and Communication. My studies focused on television and internet studies. Simultaneously with my Master\'s degree program, I worked at WNET/Channel Thirteen, home of New York City\'s PBS television station in their operations and traffic department. I also did a work study at the BBC in London, rotating through all areas of television development and working longer term on short documentaries.Proficient in all versions of Microsoft Office and OutlookSpecialties: Broadcast Operations, VOD/digital delivery, academic, art, broadcast, directing, editing, film production, financial, imaging, Microsoft office, Microsoft works, Microsoft excel, programming, promotional materials, research, scheduling, television, operations, nonprofit, arts
