After a triumphant return from virtual to in-person event with April's Stareable Fest LA, we're bringing the #1 indie TV and web series Festival back to where the story began. Stareable Fest will take over New York City once again this October! Join us in building the new home for digital creative talent in the TV industry.
We partner with our creators to help develop, package, and set up their TV projects with our ever-expanding list of industry relationships, from production companies and studios to broadcasters and streamers.
We are not a traditional festival and are not the right fit if you just want to screen your project. We're looking for creators who want our help in getting their project its next big leap.
We are dedicated to springboarding talented creators into the mainstream TV industry.
