About Tyro TV 

We want to give emerging filmmakers an inexpensive opportunity to show off their storytelling gifts – and give concerned citizens a creative forum to tell the world what they think – on issues of intense national debate.

Rather than having people TELL US what they think (that’s so 20th century!), we’re asking folks to SHOW US by entering video mash-up contests.

What’s more, we will use our entertainment and journalism connections to market, promote, and sell the best entries to television and Internet broadcasters – thus giving these grass roots filmmakers nationwide exposure.

That’s Tyro TV.
