NEW YORK, N.Y. – As a kid, I dreamed of having a telephone that was plugged into my family’s TV and would let me ring up whoever I was watching. With this special phone, I could reach my favourite TV stars, introduce myself and talk to them about their shows.

It would’ve been so great. But I always knew it was an impossible dream.

Flash forward a few decades. On a Thursday night last month, Kerry Washington, the star of such films as “Ray” and “The Last King of Scotland,” was live-tweeting answers to questions tweeted from viewers as they watched the premiere of her new ABC series, “Scandal.”

Washington was at her mother’s New York apartment, where family and friends were gathered for a viewing party in her honour.

With our first web pilot festival, we were creating a new outlet for web series creatives.

With our second, we were perfecting our process and format, building upon the foundation we had created.

Now, our third festival is all about stepping things up. We’re not here to tread water – we’re here to blow the doors off of web television and connect the industry at large with talented filmmakers and actors in service of creating the next generation of popular entertainment. Just as we’re kicking things up a notch or two, so should you prepare to put everything you’ve got into these pilots!

And just how are we building off our last festival? One word: VidCon.

THE people behind the Tribeca Film Festival are getting a channel, but unlike the channel from the people behind the Sundance Film Festival, don’t look for it on television.

Tribeca Enterprises, the parent of the Tribeca Film Festival, is teaming up with Maker Studios to create a channel on YouTube.com, named the Picture Show, that is to go live later this year. The channel on YouTube, which is part of Google, will be a home for online series and short films, rather than the feature-length movies that are released by Tribeca Film in theaters and on the video-on-demand channels on cable systems.
