A smash hit in Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C., "The Other Network" has launched a national tour with confirmed shows in NY, Boston, Portland, Eugene, and the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, and dates to be confirmed soon in Chicago, Montreal, Vancouver, New Orleans, and others. Details coming soon to this page.
"The Other Network" features un-aired and previously un-seen TV pilots by some of the most creative talent in the business: the writers and producers behind "Freaks & Geeks," "The Ben Stiller Show," "Larry Sanders," "Saturday Night Live," "Late Night with David Letterman," "TV Nation," "Frasier," "Mr. Show," "The Simpsons" and "Sex and the City," including Bob Odenkirk, Robert Smigel, Merrill Markoe, Conan O’Brien, Ben Stiller and others. On-screen talent includes Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Ron Silver, Ray Romano, Fred Armisen, Amy Poehler, John Larroquette, Jill Clayburgh and Dave Foley.
The Other Network gives audiences a unique look at TV shows that were too original, too creative, or too disturbing for broadcast TV. And the festival offers a unique glimpse into the process of making television with specially-recorded introductions to each show by their creators.
Every year the broadcast networks spend millions of dollars making over a hundred TV shows, but very few ever make it to the air. Writers, producers, actors, crews, and network executives put their creative energy, hearts and souls into these programs, but the finished product is only ever seen by a few people, maybe a focus group or two. Until now.
