Announced from SXSW, Letters2Amy will unfold as a series of key events and mixed media moments.
Beginning with a touring interactive exhibition — it’s an art, performance & music initiative dedicated to supporting young British artists and offers special attention to self-belief, well-being and mental health awareness. It also includes a unique episodic documentary series of films exploring Amy Winehouse's influence, inspiration and legacy.
Letters2Amy Creative Director Phil Griffin said, “Our project is a very personal and important conversation with Amy herself. We aim to celebrate and focus energy on all that she gave so generously, to all that she touched through her life & music.”
Mr. Griffin continued, "For me Amy was always more vanguard than victim and despite her challenges, she always encouraged people around her to believe in themselves. To find honesty in their creativity and to take refuge in whatever art, music, dance, or films they loved.

We know who's been nominated. Now it's time to get some scoop on the 40th Annual Daytime Emmy show itself. TV Guide Magazine spoke with executive producer Gabriel Gornell and Hln executive vp and general manager Scot Safon about the ceremony, airing live on Hln from the Beverly Hilton Hotel (Sunday, June 16, 8/7c). Expect big changes.
"Last year we only had three weeks to prepare for the show but this time we have two months and that's going to make a vast difference in the way we honor daytime television," Safon says. "We were so heartened by what we achieved in such a small amount of time last year that we just knew we had to dream bigger. Our working theme for this year's ceremony is 'Past, Present and Future,' which will honor 40 years of the Daytime Emmys and 40 years of daytime television breakthroughs — the many ways daytime was there first,...

The 39th annual Daytime Emmys, to air live Saturday at 8 p.m. on Hln, will honor not just the soaps and their stars, but news shows, talk shows, food shows, lifestyle shows, children’s shows and legal shows. 'This is a coming-out party to embrace the whole spectrum of daytime programming,' says Gabriel Gornell, executive producer. Numerically, dramas still dominate the awards.
