Television series pitches

Anitque National television.

• My first television series pitch ~ by Jason Carswell
  • In the afternoon (2023-03-06), I submitted my 3 pitches to their online submission form: https://TV1.Wufoo.com/forms/z1ln7v5g06fp9qe
  • That evening, a couple gentlemen from TV1 (subscription television owned by Bell Canada) visited the Windsor Media Center to present their production histories, explained how as television producers they are accepting series pitch submissions, and took five minutes in person for everyone with a concept.
  • The producers explained that TV1 will:
    1. provide all the professional filmmaking gear required
    2. provide a modest budget
    3. sponsors are permitted, but not advertising
    4. broadcast the series on TV1 for 90 days
    5. after 90 days the series belongs 100% to the series creator(s)
    6. creators may share it elsewhere (YouTube, etc) but TV1 may not fund additional seasons absent TV1 promotion
  • They will return to Windsor in July.
• Maple Fringe Majority, television series pitch ~ by Jason Carswell
  • In the face to face (mentioned above), it was agreed that an authentic documentary format is preferable to dramatizations (and easier).
