Astoria, Queens - The Pilot

The New York Television Festival starts Monday and goes through the rest of this week, showcasing new modern and independent television programs, panel discussions, and other events that celebrate television as an art form.

One of the pilots premiering this week is called Astoria, Queens - "Inspired by the Wizard of Oz, four Kansas City twenty-somethings navigate their new lives in the scary, but exciting Emerald City of New York. After a day hanging with a Lindsay Lohan impersonator, shirtless male models, and a half-naked "stranger" who's not sure who he slept with the night before, the roomates question: "Did we do the right thing by moving here."

Here's the trailer:
