For the week of International Women’s Day, our Thursday Morning Conversation (TMC) features super talented Jennifer Manner of EchoStar/Hughes Network Systems. We take a slightly different turn this week and talk about the nuances of film and documentary making. Jennifer was a finalist at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival where she hung out with the likes of John Travolta and other celebs. We talk to Jennifer about her latest film, “When Wire Was King, the Transformation of Telecommunications,” which is due out later this year. If you are into film making, celebs in Cannes, how Jennifer combines satellite regulation and film making, then this is the TMC for you.

Via Satellite’s Thursday Morning Conversations are the newest way to learn about the latest news in the satellite industry.
