Welcome to the golden age of television, where captivating episodic shows draw Hollywood's biggest stars. Cable and streaming providers are hungry for all sorts of short form content to meet their programming needs, but the festivals that once connected up-and-coming voices to the industry are still markedly focused on feature films, despite obvious changes in the market and individual viewing habits.
The TV Fest seeks to bridge that gap by giving the next generation of creators a chance to shine on the big screen in our historic theatre and discover their audience. We amplify talent regardless of budget, so if you have a compelling program and a unique perspective, we'd love to find a place for you here.
This year at The TV Fest, we're asking for the content our audiences crave the most. Friday evening is dedicated to the absolute best mix of Sci-Fi, Horror & Fantasy genre works you have to offer, while our Saturday afternoon program will feature an exceptional lineup of Documentaries from all around the world. We'll wrap the festival that evening with an awards ceremony to celebrate the best. of the best.
Our judges, comprised of film buffs, indie filmmakers and producers, will be looking for excellence in the following categories:
