Southern Vermont Takes The Screen
TIMOTHY PETERS
THE INDEPENDENT
TELEVISION FESTIVAL
October 10–14, 2018
Each October, creative minds from around
the world gather in Manchester for the
Independent Television Festival (ITVFest).
Now in its 13th year, ITVFest is the only and
premier festival for all things television.
Those who have produced a show’s pilot
submit it to the festival where only a small
percentage are chosen to screen in front
of an audience of industry executives and
peers. Final winners receive meetings with
the development team at HBO.
how to experience it
ITVFest encourages the public to attend.
This is your chance to see the next wave of
great television shows before anyone else!
Purchase a day pass and hop from theater
to theater to view the first episodes of
numerous shows. Also consider sitting in
on one of the many panel sessions to get
an insider’s perspective on how television
is made. Take a look at the schedule and
programming descriptions to start filling up
your itinerary. All this is included in a one-
day or multiday pass. itvfest.com

THE VERMONT PRODUCTION COUNCIL
The Vermont Production Council is dedicated to promoting
Vermont as a filming destination. The organization, based
in Manchester and closely affiliated with ITVFest, connects
producers of film and television with the resources necessary
to make their projects successful. One of The VPC’s first major
projects brought ABC’s The Bachelor franchise to Vermont
for two weeks of filming including a takeover of Main Street
for a kickoff celebration and parade. The show, The Bachelor
Winter Games, aired four 2-hour-long episodes in February.
