The People’s Games – Tryouts March 13: New York City vs. Los Angeles Basketball Rivalry Heats Up

The People’s Games is a new sports competition that offers athletes the opportunity to represent their city as they face off against other US cities in a battle to prove which has the best athletes.

This inaugural basketball competition calls on recreational, streetball, college and pick-up players to bring their best game to the court. The People’s Games offers the best non-professional players in a city the opportunity to represent their hometowns and show the world their skill in local venues with local sports icons as their coaches.

Once teams are chosen, a “best of three” finals series will be played, starting on May 1 in Los Angeles before moving to New York City on May 3. If necessary, a tie-breaking third game will be played on May 4.

Tryouts are open to the public. Participants must be 18 years of age or older and a resident of the city they are representing. New York tryouts will take place at 1pm ET in the following locations:


    Bronx: St. Mary’s Recreation Center, 450 St. Ann’s Avenue, Bronx, NY 10454
    Brooklyn: St. John’s Recreation Center, 1251 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213
    Manhattan & Staten Island: Alfred E. Smith Recreation Center, 80 Catherine Street, New York, NY 10038
    Queens: Al Oerter Recreation Center, 131-40 Fowler Avenue, Flushing, NY 11355

Los Angeles City tryouts will take place at 9am PST in the following locations:

The People’s Games will be conducted in partnership with the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation & Parks and in coordination with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. A portion of the proceeds from The People’s Games will be donated to the local recreation and parks departments in participating cities.

About The People’s Games http://www.PeoplesGames.com

THE PEOPLE’S GAMES is a new brand of sport in America. It is an original and unique concept which provides an opportunity for the common man to represent their city in sporting competition against rival cities. It’s an opportunity for real people…teachers, taxi drivers, policemen, janitors, waiters, etc…to live out their dream of playing in a big time sporting event, representing their family, neighborhood, and city in pursuit of the thrill of victory.

THE PEOPLE’S GAMES recaptures the way sports used to be…when it was about heart, passion, and teamwork…played by people of varying backgrounds, race, religion, and social status…in short, when people played for “the love of the game”, not for money or fame.

Unlike other competitions, players on a team must come from the city for which they play. THE PEOPLE’S GAMES are the antithesis of professional sports.

MGM Television Worldwide Casting Director Coming to Toronto – Paul Weber and TVI Actors Studio Prepares Canadian Actors for Hollywood & New York City










Los Angeles, CA & New York, NY (PRWEB) July 23, 2005

Is Hollywood coming to Canada? Should Canadian actors move to Los Angeles or New York? Paul Weber, Head of Casting for MGM Television Worldwide, answers these questions and more, when TVI Actors Studio, America’s largest acting school and resource center for actors, conducts TV/Film Intensive Weekend classes Friday, August 19, through Sunday, August 21. Weber will teach a TV/Film Audition Technique Intensive on August 20 and 21 and also present a multi-media presentation “The Business of Acting in LA & NY” with Peter Kaiser, TVI Actors Studio Associate Director and former Los Angeles and New York Talent Agent, on Friday, August 19.

From my experience, the quality of actors has been on a par with their American counterparts.”

“While there are many shows and films shot in Canada, many Canadian actors consider moving to Los Angeles or New York to increase their opportunities,” states Kaiser. “During the Friday night class, Paul and I will teach actors how to take control of their careers. Whether an actor decides to make the move to Hollywood or Broadway or to stay in Canada, the same business managerial and self-marketing skills will apply.”

The New York Television Festival and Rio de Janeiro International Television Festival Partner in the “TV Festival PassPort Program”

The New York Television Festival and Rio de Janeiro International Television Festival Partner in the “TV Festival PassPort Program”











New York, NY (PRWEB) November 28, 2007

The New York Television Festival (NYTVF) today announced that the Rio de Janeiro International Television Festival has joined its TV Festival PassPort Program. This unique artist exchange program, launched in September by the NYTVF, provides up-and-coming independent Brazilian TV creators and producers with free Artist Passes to the 2008 NYTVF and the ability to screen their work at the fest in New York. In exchange, members of the NYTVF Fellowship program will be welcomed at the 2008 International Television Festival and have the opportunity to screen their work for audiences in Brazil. Rio de Janeiro International Television Festival, which is promoted by Brazil’s Institute of Television Studies (IETV), is the second international festival to join the PassPort program, following the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival in September.

“We are thrilled that the International Television Festival in Rio de Janeiro is joining the TV Festival PassPort Program,” said NYTVF founder Terence Gray. “The Program will create incredible opportunities for outstanding independent TV creators around the world to showcase their talents on an international stage.”

“The Institute of Television Studies is excited to establish this partnership”, said Brazil’s IETV director Nelson Hoineff. “We believe that this is a great opportunity for producers in US and in Brazil to exchange ideas, make their work widely know and above all to promote innovative ideas for the television content in both countries”.

As part of the TV Festival PassPort Program, the four pilot-makers named to the NYTVF Fellowship program will receive the opportunity to screen their pilots in the “Festival of Festivals” screening series at the Rio de Janeiro International Television Festival in November 2008. Launched in 2007, the NYTVF Fellowship Program pairs talented pilot-makers from the NYTVF Independent Pilot Competition in mentorships with established TV producers. Television industry veterans Michael Davies, Tom Fontana, Mitchell Hurwitz, and Phil Rosenthal are participating in the inaugural year of the program.

As part of the exchange, a number of stand-out TV creators who have submitted original work to the 2007 Rio de Janeiro International Television Festival will be eligible to receive free Artist Passes to the 2008 NYTVF and have their projects presented to New York audiences.

The NYTVF debuted in 2005 as the industry’s first showcase for independent television. Recent pilots that premiered at the Festival and have been sold to major networks include the scripted comedy “Split the Difference” to NBC Universal Television Studios and the improv comedy pilot “Criss-Cross” to A&E Television Networks. Additionally, the reality series “Off the Hook” was purchased and developed as a series by Versus. The third annual NYTVF ran from September 5th through September 9th.

The NYTVF is supported by Signature Sponsors MSN, Xbox and Procter & Gamble Productions. TV Guide and the William Morris Agency are Official Supporting Sponsors. Official Network Sponsors for the 2007 NYTVF include NBC Universal, FOX, ABC, A&E, Bravo and E!. The NYTVF works in conjunction with the Mayor’s Office of New York City.

About the New York Television Festival

The NYTVF was founded in 2005 as the industry’s first recognized independent television festival, providing a platform to elevate the work of artists creating for the small screen. Held annually each fall in New York City, the birthplace of modern television, the Festival unites artists, executives, industry figures, and fans together in one forum to celebrate the medium and to help shape its future. Along with the Independent Pilot Competition, the Festival features panel discussions, network premiere screenings, and other special events designed to honor television as an institution and as an art form.
