September 29, 2017
The convention was held aboard Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas August 8 through August 12. Since our official partnership in Shanghai this past April, 94 regional contests were hosted in ten major cities all over China, having attracted over 20,000 young contestants. One-hundred talents from different cities made their way into the final competition after a series of preliminary rounds.
The finalists were requested to compete in competitions that included jeans, swimwear, runway, fashion print, TV commercials, singing and dancing. The winners were awarded a scholarship to attend the IMTA LA 2018. Mr. Joey Hunter, of IMTA, was invited to be the chief judge of the final contest.

Each year as the fall television season begins, it is gratifying to take a look at the IMTA alumni who extend their résumés with work on “television.” With advances in technology, nowadays “television” or “TV” encompasses more than just the flat screen on the family room wall; it includes smartphones, tablets and PCs. “TV” can be viewed anywhere, anytime on any mobile device. And it is no longer only networks and cable channels producing programming and movies, but streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu have their own line-up of original shows and films. Amazon and YouTube offer original programming and serve as hosts for channels such as PixL and Reelz. YouTube and Vimeo serve as platforms for independent filmmakers and writers to release original series and movies. All of these outlets provide unlimited possibilities for IMTA alumni to appear on “the small screen.”
Below are just a few of the IMTA alumni working on network, cable or web series, appearing on returning or new series in regular or recurring roles, announced guest-starring appearances, and lead or supporting roles in TV movies and mini-series. Our apologies for any names missing. IMTA is equally proud of all of the alumni working in the entertainment industry and we try to keep track of as many as we can. Please let us know of castings, guest appearances and other successes of IMTA alums.
IMTA alum Amy Acker stars in the new FOX series “The Gifted,” premiering October 2. The action-adventure family drama from Marvel tells the story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive. Acker also guest stars on the Alan Tudyk/Nathan Fillion comedy “Con Man” which is currently re-airing on the SyFy channel.
