Selections for our Pro-TV PSAs announced!
We were absolutely blown away by the number and quality of PSAs we received
last month. Proof once again that the NYTVF Community is bursting with
talent. It was hard to choose among so many superb entries, but with a
limited number of slots, we had to make some tough choices.
Here, then, are the PSAs being shown at the Festival, along with their
creators, and which blocks they will be a part of. Each block is shown
twice during the festival. Tickets to most blocks are still available.
Click here for tickets.
Thank you all once more for your entries, and keep making awesome stuff!
