Château Malartic-Lagraviere x Film Independent Event
On June 20, 2023, Château Malartic Lagravière was glad to support the New Wave Actors, a diverse group of talented voices, selected by Film Independent and SAGindie, who have broken into the industry and continue to deliver breakout performances.
The event – a partnership between Film Independent @The Wallis and SAGindie, with additional support from Easterseals Disability Services – featured an in-depth conversation with six exceptional actors deserving of recognition, moderated by Darrien Gipson (Executive Director, SAGindie).
The conversation was truly a great moment! It highlighted talented actors who continuously deliver breakout performances. This 2023 edition honored the following rising talent: Annie Gonzalez (Flamin’ Hot), Isis King (With Love), Young Mazino (Beef), Su Ann Pien (As We See It), Lionel Boyce (The Bear), Lukita Maxwell (Shrinking), and Josie Totah (Other People).
Film Independent, the nonprofit arts organization responsible for the iconic and star studded annual Film Independent Spirit Awards kicking off each awards season, organized this exciting event that took place on June 20 at the Wallis Annenberg Center in Los Angeles.
Before the panel conversation, the evening began with an exclusive and private cocktail reception, where the wines of Château Malartic-Lagravière were served in red and white varietals to the delighted 75 invited guests, talents, high-level Members, Subscribers and VIP industry guests!
