ITVS publishes “International Call 2007″
November 5th, 2006 by Zsofia
The San Francisco-based ITVS is invitingĀ international producers to create documentaries for US television audiences. ITVS is looking for extraordinary programmes which “explore globally significant themes and issues, represent diverse communities, advance underrepresented points of view, inspire public dialogue, and tell powerful, fascinating stories.”
The first International Call in 2005 generated over 300 aplications from 75 countries. Proposals must be received at the ITVS office by 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time on Friday, February 9, 2007. Programs must be in production or post-production. Applicants must submit a sample reel of their work-in-progress that is at least five minutes in length. For this International Call, ITVS will consider hour-long and feature length documentaries for television broadcast. Project funding ranges from $10,000 to $150,000.
