2017 festival
In 2017, we premiered the celebrated pilot Up North, which sold to Entertainment Studios, and celebrated amongst the vines during our opening night party at Borghese Vineyards. A large local crowd turned out for the “Greenport” premiere screened on opening night. The North Fork TV Festival ended with a closing night party at The Halyard, at the newly re-opened Sound View hotel.
