It Got Better: Collaboration in LGBT Storytelling

Inspired by the Emmy Award-winning It Gets Better Project and the Emmy-nominated "Who Do You Think You Are?", the “It Got Better” docuseries shares LGBT celebrities' personal stories of overcoming obstacles within historical context. This panel explores the collaboration between the creative team of Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky's Is Or Isn't Entertainment ("The Comeback"; "Web Therapy") and Dan Savage and the It Gets Better Project on Lexus' digital content channel L/Studio (LStudio.com). Learn why and how the series’ Executive Producers partnered with a non-profit, a major brand and an ad agency to create and distribute these messages of hope.
