Outside the Box Award: "Hell Froze Over"

Created by: Misplaced Planet Productions: J Wilder Konschak, Michael Benni Pierce, Shaun Boyle, and Alli Hartley

The Outside the Box Award is given to the most innovative or genre-expanding pilot in competition. This year's winner "Hell Froze Over" features Jody who decides to go on a date with every man she's ever turned down in order to prove a point to her roommate, Brooke. The 2008 Outside the Box Award winner, "Food Party," aired as a series in 2009 on IFC.

Thanks to everyone at the New York Television Festival, to everyone on the Hell Froze Over team, and to everyone who supported us and believed in us and helped to make this happen! Keep spreading the word!

The pilot episode for Hell Froze Over is an official selection for competition in the New York Television Festival! This is a huge honor, and we are very excited.

We couldn't be more thrilled, and we want to thank everyone who's supported us. Please get out the word, and as soon as we know exactly when the pilot will be screening for the public, we will post it here. Anyone in the New York area should consider attending, because it's quite a big show, full of glamorous industry professionals and the premieres of new network television. Last year, Fox premiered Fringe at the festival.

Our fingers are crossed that this could mean big things for our little show - perhaps even a chance to produce a second season. Check out Hell Froze Over on the official list of accepted independent pilots.

Wish us luck!

PS: This is the super secret reason that the pilot has been removed from the internet.

Episode 101, the pilot episode, will be unavailable on the site for a little while. This is intentional, and we are aware. We'll let you know why it's been taken down as soon as we can, but rest assured, it's nothing bad.

Welcome to everyone who's gotten their hands on our website URL a little early. The site is still being tweaked and improved, so there are many things that don't work or look quite right just yet. However, there will be materials appearing as the big day (Friday February 13th) approaches.

This is a low-budget, grass-roots operation, which means we're going to need all of you to spread the word. Post links. Invite friends and family. We want to get the audience base as big as we can. If you have an outlet, we'd love you for using it on our behalf. If you have a mouth, we'd love it if you opened it and told your friends. Whatever you can contribute, we want to empower you to do so -- so let us know if you need anything!

Meanwhile, you can also get more information (and a photo gallery) at misplacedplanet.com, and at misplacedplanet.com/eris/comingsoon.
