A mockumentary about the ridiculously high stakes competitive world of junior college cheer.
In-Talks, a brand new, VIP only experience debuting at the this year’s North Fork TV Festival. Over two days, the Piano Bar at Sound View Greenport will transform into a stage for six one-on-one conversations between some of television’s most compelling actors and the creative forces shaping the industry today. Guided by a thoughtful moderator, these unscripted, off-the-cuff discussions will dive into the real stories Behind-The-Screen, how careers are built, challenges overcome, and opportunities discovered in a rapidly evolving TV landscape. Set against the laid-back sophistication of the North Fork, In-Talks offers an intimate look at the industry from the people living it and stewarding the next wave of storytelling in television and beyond.
Access is exclusive to Silver and Gold Pass holders.
Food and beverages will be available throughout the day, adding to the relaxed, come-and-stay-awhile atmosphere.

A mockumentary about the ridiculously high stakes competitive world of junior college cheer.
Jenn Lyon is Courtney Potter, the most competitive person in the world. She drives everyone super hard but, no one nearly as hard as she drives herself. She is a mama bear to her cheerleaders and supplies well-needed emotional, physical and often financial support to her “cheer family.” She was tied as the winningest cheer coach in Junior College Cheer history, leading Sammy Davis Sr, Junior College to its 14th straight championship. But after a "scandalous" video of her partying with her team at a victory celebration went viral, she was forced to start over from the bottom with a rag tag team of misfits in a tiny college in a tinier town with an unpronounceable name.
