Hey there jbrukner! Thanks for being a big fan of the Fest!!

The overview simply serves as supplemental material to your script. You can include ideas for future episodes, a longer synopsis, character outlines, etc. It’s really up to you. The overview is a great place to showcase the overall tone of your show.

neevarpsnilloc - Good question and while there’s not exactly a secret recipe, we can absolutely assure you that newbies/emerging creators have gotten into the Festival and leveraged that experience in big ways. In terms of advice, we encourage you to keep working - whether it’s as a producer or writer — the more you can hone your project, the greater the likelihood for success. Finally, even if you’re not selected, we hope you’ll join us for the Fest in October. We host a number of events (both during the Festival and throughout the year) geared toward providing guidance, insight, and advice.

Thru NYTVF Connect Exec Hub, industry decision-makers can pre-screen Fest material and request meetings with artists/writers of interest, and those meetings are facilitated by us the week of the Festival. Last year we scheduled almost 450 meetings between Official Artists and industry participants.

Good Q - and there are no issues whatsoever. As long the project wasn’t financed by one of those digital platforms (or a network or studio), you’re in the clear.

Thanks for tuning in laffwriter!

We recommend submitting the episodes that you feel best represent your show, and we recommend including AT LEAST two episodes. If that means 3 episodes or all six episodes of your web series (and the total runtime is under 60 minutes), then that’s great.

In terms of credits, we recommend putting the credits between each episode to make it clear that it’s a web series. But that’s totally up to you, and we’ve definitely had Official Selections that did it both ways.
