The New York Television Festival (NYTVF) is proud to announce that it is now accepting submissions to the fourth annual Independent Pilot Competition (IPC). The NYTVF, held each fall in Midtown Manhattan, is the first-ever independent television showcase, giving independent television producers and creators the opportunity to present their work directly to executives at broadcast networks, cable networks, and online content providers. The 2008 NYTVF will be held in September, on dates to be announced soon.
Starting this year, the IPC will accept pilot entries between 5 minutes and 22 minutes in length for consideration to the IPC. The NYTVF recognizes that television is evolving into new and emerging platforms, and the opportunities for our artists to create television content for new media outlets have never been greater. We feel it is a service to our pilot-makers to give them the flexibility to create pilots tailored to these platforms while still allowing them to present ideas for more conventional television developers.
Official Selections to the 2007 Independent Pilot Competition were screened directly for development execs, agents, and producers throughout the TV industry. Additionally, all pilots were broadcast online on MSN Video for viewers all over the country to enjoy, maximizing the exposure our artists received for their work. Our top entrants have the opportunity to work with some of the biggest producers in TV, such as Tom Fontana, Michael Davies, Mitchell Hurwitz, and Phil Rosenthal. They also have a chance to win cash prizes, development deals, and recognition unmatched anywhere else.
The NYTVF accepts pilots of all categories and genres, both scripted and unscripted. For more information, please visit www.nytvf.com.
