Jillian Armenante in Kittens In A Cage
Sometimes – don’t I know it! – I can be too clever by half! Which is why the opportunity to speak with the director of a film I’ve just been theorising over is so salutary. Because nothing puts you in your place more precisely than the realisation that there is more to research than…research.
It begins with Kittens In A Cage, a film I reviewed for Eye For Film last week.
Cards on table: I loved it. Why? Not because it is ‘great,’ but because I love comedy. More: I love absurd, outrageous, campy, queer comedy and Kittens delivered all of this. It fills a niche, in terms of bringing the lesbian gaze to an area of comedy more usually dominated by guys.

2016 has been a banner year for the New York Television Festival. The Duplass Brothers-produced “Animals” pilot, which won Best Comedy at the festival in 2013, landed a two-season deal over at HBO. Multi-year alums of the festival Tory Stanton and Scott McCabe wrote a pilot called “No Tomorrow” that will score a premiere on The CW this fall. And that’s just the start.
Deadlines have passed for this year’s annual Independent Pilot Competition (Ipc) and the festival’s inaugural Nytvf Scripts competition. The statistics show interest in independent television — at least as far as it crosses into the festival — is hotter than ever.
