“The TV LAB was really innovative in both form and content– truly experimental TV with visual media pioneers like Nam June Paik. It was a big and important project from Howard Klein at Rockefeller. Good luck with your project, TV LAB: License to Create.” — Charles Benton, Chairman, Benton Foundation   “Weinberg reminds us of the heady days when Channel l3 was the spawning ground for innovative television and why we need to create a new one.” — George C. Stoney, Filmmaker & Professor of Film, NYU Tisch School of the Arts   “I really want the TV LAB: License to Create film to be made.” — Ron Simon, Curator, Television, The Paley Center for Media   “As a new generation of artists and critical audiences think about the origin and role of television in our lives, this documentary would provide a window into a ground-breaking period in public television’s recent past. TV LAB: License to Create would provide a much-needed teaching tool, not only for the study of video art history, but also for documentary and commercial television history as well.”   — Dara Meyers-Kingsley, Executive Director, Independent Media Arts Preservation   Major Funding       Nam June Paik The Rockefeller Foundation New York State Council on the Arts Barbara Wise   Individual Donors via IFP Fiscal Sponsorship
