We’re glad you asked -
Storyboard TV is an online community of writers, readers, and television watchers that believes in the power of episodic, fictional television to document, enhance, and transform people’s lives for the better.
Storyboard TV is a place where writers of new shows can meet their potential audiences, garner feedback, and develop a supportive following for their work.
Storyboard TV is also a place where television watchers/lovers can go to read, help develop, and campaign to get the next “must see” television series produced.
If you’re tired of seeing great fiction lose air time to reality tv, or of watching the same old story line get played out on every crime procedural, or have found that it’s getting harder to justify to all of your friends just WHY you watch television, then Storyboard TV is for you.
To get things started on the right foot, the Storyboard TV website will launch in February with a scriptwriting competition offering a $5,000 reward to a writer with the best one-hour television pilot. The winning script will be read, voted on, and ultimately decided by members of the storyboard community.
From there, Storyboard TV will help develop the winning script for possible production. Who knows – if we get lucky, we might even get to see the thing made into a series.
In the meantime, here’s our blog. In the coming months, we’ll be examining why we watch, what we’re watching, and why we think it’s important. We’ll also be updating you about the site, the competition, and anything else we can think of.
