Entry into the Pilots Competition will provide great opportunities for your entry to take to the stage amongst the great programs of the television and film world, thanks to our Banff International Pilots Competition partners:                   

Development and Commercialization Opportunities

With Absolutely Independent, The Format Agency, our best independently produced pilots will have an opportunity to sign a development contract aiming to transform the honoured pilot into a commercially viable program, no matter that format or genre. It will be up to the rights-owners of the honoured pilot to negotiate with Absolutely Independent.

Absolutely Independent markets TV Lab worldwide and distributed the formats that do not have an international outlet.

For more information about Absolutely Independent, please visit their website at www.absolutely.nl.

Broadcasting Opportunities

With our Broadcast partner TV Lab, an initiative of TV3, a Dutch public broadcasting organization, and NPO’s third channel, Nederland 3 (Ned 3), we are offering to leading programs of the competition the possibility to be broadcast, first in Holland, then on stations in various countries through our other broadcasting partners. 
                                                                                                                  
Since its establishment in August 2009, TV Lab has achieved great success with various pilots around the world.  Among their recent successes are: Claudia op Vrijdag (Claudia on Friday), made by Dutch public broadcasting organization Vara; The Bubble from Armoza Format (From Israel); and the Dutch Eyework’s format, They Know What You Did (Ik Weet Wat Jij Deed), made for public broadcasting organization Tros.  All started with a broadcast on TV Lab!

Already eight formats from the TV Lab project, will air in 2010.  Maybe the next one will be yours!
