Earlier this summer (see the article published on itvt.com, July 25th), Samsung launched its third annual "Free the TV Challenge" connected-TV developer contest. This year's competition--subtitled "Second Screen Storytellers"--sees Samsung collaborating with the New York Television Festival (NYTVF) to foster the development of original multiscreen television series. The competition's winner will receive a production budget of $300,000 to create an original short series with accompanying second-screen material.

In this recorded interview, [itvt]'s Tracy Swedlow talks to Samsung's VP of content and product solutions, Eric Anderson, about why Samsung decided to focus this year's contest on second screen-enhanced storytelling, about the submissions the company is seeing for the contest, and more.
