PRLog -- The television series that started on NYCLife as a show for New Yorkers, now returns for a 16
th season with up to a million viewers and expanded national coverage. The show began as a means of providing mainstream media entertainment that, as actor and Film Lab President Jennifer Betit Yen put it, "inverted the traditional casting scheme in which storylines tended to focus on white males. We focus on stories by and featuring underrepresented faces and voices, presented in a way that appeals to all audiences." The show's upcoming season, will premiere November 26, 2023, in partnership with CrossingsTV. The episodes will air across all markets where Comcast is available (in addition to New York and Los Angeles on Spectrum). The new season will feature original entertainment narrative addressing anti-AAPI discrimination created by Film Lab's DiscrimiNATION project and Film Lab's 72 Hour Shootout. The television series, a medley of innovative and diverse American stories will be hosted by Betit Yen. "We continue to be impressed with the creativity and passion that we see from the Shootout's filmmakers each year. We're honored to be the network premiering their films nationally and hope that our audiences find them as entertaining and inspiring as we have," commented Daniel Sakaya, President and COO of CrossingsTV.
