From being "the first space dedicated all the time to the box" (according to the American Film Institute),and thus creating what would latter be known as the microcinema movement, onto achieving "the first video theater hit" (according to the Los Angeles Times), to developing one of the earliest public exhibition spaces for digital art, as well as staging it's first international internet event in 1987 (in collaboration with Arthur C. Clark), onto its current productions and collaborations, EZTV has often been at the right place at the right time. This was largely by design rather than by accident. As notoriety increased for EZTV and its approach to media, a list of internationally recognized artists, filmmakers, philosophers and performers as well as a roster of world-class venues and organizations have chosen EZTV to collaborate with, either as producers, exhibitors or advocates.

In the early 1980's most artist-run spaces were exhibiting only video art & installation, EZTV expanded the independent video curatorial palette to include documentary, narrative, music, interactive and scientifically-based work. This policy is widely accepted today, but was rare until much latter.

Literally thousands of artists utilized this Los Angeles based resource at a time when access to vide and digital technology was extremely limited and very expensive. As the desktop video revolution (which EZTV anticipated and fostered) became more available to the community, EZTV strove to focus more on its already acclaimed original productions, and less on being a media center. Adopting to change, EZTV has changed its location six times in 25 years, and over the years has operated a variety of ever-evolving facilities which were designed to cater to the needs of the artists' community.

Although artists at EZTV are strong believers of public funding for the arts, EZTV has rarely taken advantage of the grants for which it is obviously eligible for. EZTV earns its income, from which it can exercise its philosophy of "artist-run philanthropy", entirely through commissions, collaborations, or creative & technical services.

Artists at EZTV are often-requested as speakers at international professional conferences, as well as at colleges, universities, festivals and art centers.
