New York Television Festival to screen independent TV showcase at NYCC

The New York Television Festival (NYTVF) presents a selection of independently produced pilots that received acclaim at the 2008 Independent Pilot Competition. Creator-producers will be on hand to discuss the creative process behind creating, developing, and shooting your own TV pilot. The showcase features a Drama Block and a Comedy Block separated by a brief intermission. Short interstitial screenings and brief talkbacks with the producers will occur during the presentation. The NYTVF presents independently produced TV pilot to development execs at broadcast and cable networks, production companies, and major Web portals. Many producers have landed development deals with places such as NBC, A&E, MSN, IFC, and Versus after showcasing their pilots at the annual Festival.

This presentation will take place on Saturday, starting at 5:30pm, in Room 1A02.
