If you think so, then you could find yourself being flown to New York, put up in a hotel and invited to schmooze and booze with loads of high-powered media luvvies, all courtesy of the New York Television Festival.

The NYTF was established to pioneer the idea of 'independent television', and is currently conducting a grassroots search for writers, producers and directors to submit pilots for inclusion in the Festival this autumn.
