NVPR Creative Director Elias Bustos Wins TV 360 Competition atThe Banff...

The Banff World Television Festival (BANFF (http://www.banff2009.com/)) and nextMEDIA (http://www.nextmediaevents.com/banff/tv.360.php) recently presented the first Telefilm TV 360 competition, in which NVPR'ss (http://www.nvpr.com) creative director, Elias Bustos, participated. The purpose of the contest was to provide cross-platform development opportunities for producers, writers, designers and creative directors during the prestigious festivals.

Elias Bustos, in conjunction with eight talented teammates, took part in the inaugural program aimed at helping bridge traditional television executives and digital media thought leaders.

The TV 360 competition is a collaborative and fiercely competitive exercise where three teams pair off to create a new and original program that will foster cross-industry partnership between new media and the future of the television industry, said Elias Bustos. Thanks to the efforts of everyone on team 1, we were lead to victory under the direction of team lead Evan Jones, Founder of Stitch Media.

The TV 360 program offers the opportunity to create a multi-platform entertainment project while providing participants with the tools to successfully pitch and market projects to both broadcasters and funders.

Three teams of nine competed to create a package for the best digital media pitch for a current TV series, which was the hit CBC show, Little Mosque on the Prairie. The show has been licensed to Europe and is being re-created for the United States TV market.

There is a growing enthusiasm from both traditional TV people and digital media executives to develop truly integrated forms of entertainment programming, commented Lisa Osborne, TV 360 Program Manager and Supervising Producer at the American Film Institute'ss Digital Content Lab.

In addition to being a renowned communications and marketing firm, NVPR also offers a broad range of development and design services to help companies leverage these opportunities demonstrated at the conference.
