Today tickets for the inaugural PaleyFest: Made In NY, taking place October 2 – 6, 2013 go on sale to the general public.
The Paley Center for Media and the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment are teaming up to bring the legendary PaleyFest (which takes place each Spring in Los Angeles) to New York.
Confirmed panel events include the casts and creators of Orange is the New Black, Elementary, The Americans, Small Empires with Alexis Ohanian, The Outs, and Boardwalk Empire.
“Bringing PaleyFest to New York City after 30 incredibly successful years in LA is a dream realized for the Paley Center and we could find no better partner than the New York City Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment to highlight the amazing breadth of media produced in the City,” said Pat Mitchell, President & CEO of The Paley Center for Media. “The Paley Center’s mission to lead and curate the discussion about the importance of media will bring television fans unparalleled access to the hottest, most talked about shows on the air and foster a greater understanding of how these shows are created, cast, and delivered.”
“New York City has truly become a TV town in recent years with more Primetime episodic series filming on our streets than ever before,” said Katherine Oliver, Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment. “Working with the Paley Center to celebrate the ‘Made in NY’ series that call New York City home is the perfect way to kick off a season of new dramas and comedies and highlight the thousands of New Yorkers who make their living working in the local film and television industry.”
In addition, the Paley Center and the Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment will present different events focused on educating the public about career opportunities in media in NYC. These events will be free and open to the public.
