~ Event Details ~

Stareable Fest is a two day celebration of excellence in independent television, July 20-22, 2018 in Tribeca NYC, brought to you by the largest community of web series creators, Stareable.com.

Stareable Fest is half industry marketplace, creating face-to-face connections between independent filmmakers and decision makers at major platforms, and half creator convention, with workshops and panels about how to be a more effective filmmaker. This isn’t the same old festival, focused on screenings and awards (though we have those). Submit now to get actionable connections and advice focused on taking your career to the next level.

    I had a fantastic time at the Stareable screening. The organizers really care about the experience for creators, and it shows in the final product. The work screened was well curated, and the networking that followed was casual but productive. Highly recommend.

    Stareable was very accommodating and offered a great way to screen your product then network afterwards. The staff was friendly and open minded to our feedback and followed up with placing your show on their website for their viewers to check out so your show isn't restricted to just their screening series. Definitely will be checking out their next screenings : )
