NYTVF Announces Selections, Loads of Web Series Make Cut

The New York Television Festival (NYTVF) announced today its official selections for the pilots competition at the fifth annual festival scheduled for September. Making the selections cut were a host of original web series including MERRIme.com, GOLD, Leaving Bliss, Man-Man, Blue Movies, Johnny B. Homeless, Hell Froze Over, Odd Jobs and Streak to Win. Trailers for all of the 37 pilots in competition are now up on the NYTVF YouTube channel.

Similar to the just-wrapped ITVFest in Los Angeles, NYTVF is taking a step further in bridging the

gap between traditional independent television and the emerging web television medium. The festival is bringing back what it calls Digital Day, which is an entire day of programming based around the online space. The festival runs from September 21-26 in Midtown Manhattan.
