Festival Overview

Established in 2005, the NYTVF is a pioneer of the independent television movement, constructing new and innovative paths of development and talent identification, while simultaneously complementing the traditional television development model. Its annual New York Television Festival - held each fall in New York City - is recognized as the industry's first independent television festival which provides a platform to elevate the work of artists creating for the small screen. Through the Festival and other year-round activities, the NYTVF's mission is to connect its community of over 8,500 independent creative artists with leading networks, studios and brands by cultivating relationships that lead to new opportunities.

History

The NYTVF launched in 2005 as the preeminent platform for independent television. The Festival's Independent Pilot Competition gives producers and content creators the chance to showcase original ideas for new TV series directly to the decision-makers in the industry.

Since its first year, the Festival has received hundreds of original pilots from independent producers and has helped them get deals with major networks, official representation, and industry recognition.
