The Hollywood Radio and Television Society (HRTS) and the NYTVF are thrilled to announce the 2016 Next Generation Committee, featuring top emerging executives from across the television and digital landscape, who will serve as jurors for the 2016 Independent Pilot Competition category awards and enjoy access to the Festival as official industry participants. The Committee is designed to provide exclusive access to the best and brightest up-and- coming television executives, agents, managers, and decision-makers and inspire collaboration and engagement with the Festival's most promising producers and writers.

 

What is the Next Generation Committee?

Comprised of JHRTS members from both the Los Angeles and New York chapters, the Next Generation Committee will enjoy prestige as Jury Members for the Independent Pilot Competition Awards. The Festival seeks to engage committee members that excel in their professional posts and roles as JHRTS members as well as exhibit a passion for the discovery and cultivation of new talent.

New members will join returning members who have extended for a second year term on the Committee. Newly selected members that provide exemplary service will be invited to extend to a second term following this year’s NYTVF.
