    The AICP Awards tour heads into the Bay Area on October 11 with a panel discussion and screening. The event will be held at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, and a selection of top winners from AICP’s three competitions–The AICP Post Awards, the AICP Next Awards, and the AICP Show: The Art & Technique of the Commercial–will be screened and analyzed by a quintet of industry leaders.

    Moderated by Matt Miller, president and CEO of AICP, the evening will include montages of the winning work from each show, with the  panel reviewing selected winners, offering  insights into what made them rise to the top of their respective categories and share their viewpoints on key trends in the industry.

    The event kicks off at 6 pm with a happy hour, followed by the Awards presentation at 7 pm, and concludes with a reception. The Exploratorium is located at Pier 15 on The Embarcadero. Tickets are available; for more information, click here. 

    The San Francisco event is the second stop on this year’s AICP Awards national tour, after a sold-out event in Los Angeles in July. The next stops on the Tour include Dallas and Mexico City, both set for November 2, and Chicago on November 9. For more details on these events, click here.

The AICP Post Awards, which debuted in 2001, honors excellence in a wide range of postproduction crafts and disciplines. And the AICP Next Awards, launched in 2007, highlights the winners of the 11 Next categories, which honor innovative marketing communications. 

    Honorees at the AICP Show and The AICP Next Awards are preserved in The Museum of Modern Art’s Department of Film’s state of the art archives for future generations to study and are available for use or exhibition by the museum’s curators.

    Netflix’s “Missing You” lands in time for New Year binge watch

    It's Netflix's resolution every new year to give viewers a headscratcher in January.

    Since 2020, the streamer has released a U.K. miniseries based on thriller book by Harlan Coben over the holidays. It seems to have paid off: "Fool Me Once," starring Michelle Keegan, Adeel Akhtar and Joanna Lumley, launched this past January and became what Netflix says was one of their most watched shows of the year, amassing 108 million views.

    2025's seasonal suspense series is "Missing You," based on Coben's 2014 New York Times bestseller. It stars Rosalind Eleazar ("Slow Horses") as Detective Inspector Kat Donovan, a police officer who specializes in finding missing people — apart from the fiance that vanished 11 years earlier.

    "They know Jan. 1 is the sweet spot for them," says actor Richard Armitage, who has appeared in each winter Coben adaptation, which relocates the stories from the books' America to the north of England. "People have ownership over the show now, so like, 'I want my Harlan Coben show on New Year's Day. Give me my Harlan Coben fix.'"

    "It's perfect timing for the release, to be honest," says co-star Ashley Walters. "Most people are going to be hung over or, you know, just not have anything to do with the day."

    The show opens with the shock of Donovan's ex-fiance (Walters) popping up on a dating app, over a decade after she came home one day to find him gone.

    "I've ghosted people before," laughs Armitage. "Just people you don't want to talk to anymore. Not digitally though."

    Another star, Jessica Plummer, isn't a fan of those who disappear without saying goodbye, though.

    "I'd just feel too guilty," she admits, calling it "cowardly and lazy — sorry Richard!"
