ITVS Futurestates Films to Debut on PBS.org
ITVS will debut Futurestates, a series of 11 short fictional films running about 15 minutes each, covering topics including climate change, immigration, and exploitation of the poor, on the Web, before the films debut on broadcast TV, likely PBS, The New York Times reported.
After screening at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, the films will be available on PBS.org in about one month, according to the Times.
PBS has aired several ITVS-financed documentaries on its Independent Lens series, according to the Times, and Congress created the Independent Television Service in 1991, financing it via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, to give independent media voices an outlet.
