A new Next Gen list highlights 35 Hollywood executives and agents, all 35 or younger, who are rising through the ranks despite layoffs.
Marvel's Berger is among them, co-producing Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars with Kevin Feige. Netflix's Brooksbank oversees a scripted slate that includes The Altruists and Ransom Canyon.
Claudia Shin and Louie Hayes are behind Apple TV's Widow's Bay and Prime Video's Sterling Point, while Christian Vazquez brought younger audiences back to theaters with Primetime and You Can See Everything.
Pamela Abdy, who was removed as Warner Bros. film chief last month, collected a major honor at the Women in Film Honors on Thursday night. She is receiving the first Vanguard Award, which Nancy Meyers will present to her.
Abdy called the recent exits of senior women in Hollywood upsetting. Cindy Holland left her role running Paramount's streaming division, and Bela Bajaria was let go as Netflix's chief content officer.
Asked about her next move, Abdy said she has no plans figured out yet and finds that uncertainty somewhat pleasant.
