UGFTV Advanced Television Production Screenings

Join us for a screening Monday, May 13 at 6PM, Room 006, of the two thirty minute television pilots produced this year. All faculty and students are invited. For those without NYU ID cards allowing them access to 721 Broadway please contact Harry Winer at hw54@NYU.edu to ensure you will be able to attend.

Advanced Television Production provides students an opportunity to learn and experience how television pilots are created in the industry. From over twenty scripts submitted two thirty minute television pilot scripts are selected to go into production. The writer/showrunner assembles a team of collaborators who work with them in class during the semester to bring the scripts to life. This screening is an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishment of all involved in these demanding productions.
