The New York Television Festival is devoting all of Friday September 23 to Digital Day. There will be five panels, a live pitch session, two screenings, an IAWTV mixer and a party with WGA’s Digital Council.

I’m excited about the IAWTV panel which is subtitled “A Producer’s Guide to Funding Projects”. The panel features three people I really want to hear speak: Paul Kontonis, of Digitas who I met at an IAWTV party in Austin during SXSW, Yancay Strickler, one of the founders of Kickstarter and Rob Barnett, founder of My Damn Channel.

If you’re going to be in New York for the New York TV Festival please come to one or both of the Ruby Skye P.I. Ruby Skye P.I. screenings: Tuesday Sept. 19 at 6:30 and Saturday Sept 24 at 3 p.m. We’ll be there on Saturday giving out buttons and posters.Tickets are free! Please come out and see the shows.

The New York TV Festival’s Independent Pilot Competition screenings will be held at Tribeca Cinemas (54 Varick Street, Tribeca) in Theatre 1. Forty-eight independently produced pilots will be screened over the course of the week. You can watch all the trailers on YouTube.

The New York TV Festival is going to include other cool events: Damon Lindelhof’s keynote, episodic premieres and more.

But wait. Are you in Philedelphia? You can attend a screening of Ruby Skye P.I. as part of First Glance Philadelphia on Sunday October 16 at 3:15 pm. Get your tickets now!
