ITV Fest Executive Director AJ Tesler explains: “ITVF will allow people who have previously had little or no access to television decision makers the forum for which they have tirelessly strived. ITVF is an opportunity for the dreamers to take time off from their day-jobs, stop waiting for the phone to ring, and take their careers into their own hands. ITVF is simply put, your ticket to TV.”
