Nebraska Coast Connection

We’re delighted to welcome back JON BOKENKAMP, a Nebraska writer, showrunner, and executive producer who splits his time between LA and Kearney. Our guest has built a career that bridges studio filmmaking and prestige television with confidence and curiosity - creating global film & TV hits in the process.

Jon is from Kearney, Nebraska, and continues to work and create in both Nebraska and California. He created & served as an executive producer on the NBC drama THE BLACKLIST. Most recently he created The LAST FRONTIER for AppleTV. Bokenkamp’s feature film work includes THE CALL for Halle Berry, TAKING LIVES for Angelina Jolie, and PERFECT STRANGER for Halle Berry & Bruce Willis.

Join us for an intimate evening of conversation as we bring Jon back from Nebraska to meet with you in LA. We promised to do so at his last Salon, which took place at The Carson Center in Lincoln, NE. Join us as Jon shares insights from his journey as a writer and showrunner, reflections on sustaining a series over multiple seasons, and thoughts on the evolving landscape of television storytelling.

We look forward to gathering in community for a lively, thoughtful exchange - now live in Los Angeles!
