(including links to trailers where available) Information on the 2018 IPC Official Selections This includes 14 projects that tackle relationships and dating, eight Chicago-based pilots and the most animation selections (seven) and strongest drama pilots we have ever had.” NYTVF Director Erin Day said: “In addition to diversity – which remains a strong theme at the Festival, including 10 LGBTQIA-themed projects in competition as well as some sketch comedy from new POVs – we have seen other trends from the just-concluded pilot season and upfront presentations reflected in this year’s lineup. The fact that more than half of these projects don’t have representation, and three quarters are premiering at our Festival, aligns perfectly with our mission and the growing spotlight the industry is shining on independent television.” “At its core, the Festival has always been about elevating the best new creative voices and introducing them to industry decision-makers. We are seeing this in full force in 2018, and the unique stories being brought forward by indie artists are a clear reaction to this important industry trend,” said NYTVF Founder and executive director Terence Gray. “Some of the most compelling storytelling on TV is coming from writers and creators with a variety of backgrounds, and this has become a real inspiration point for the next generation of creators. This year’s festival, the 14th NYTVF, takes place in the summer for the first time – July 14-20, 2018 at The Helen Mills Theater and Event Space, with select events at the SVA Theatre. The 2018 New York Television Festival has selected 59 original pilots and pitches for its annual Independent Pilot Competition this July.
