ITVS Open Call
|
|
 ITVS Open Call provides finishing funds for single non-fiction or animation public television programs on any subject, and from any viewpoint. Projects must have begun production as evidenced by a work-in-progress video.
FOR OPEN CALL, ITVS IS LOOKING FOR:
Single programs of standard broadcast length (56:40 or 26:40). In rare cases, when a filimmaker’s skills, subject and story structure warrant it, ITVS will consider programs at feature lengths
Works-in-progress (for non-fiction submissions), i.e. projects that have already begun production
Programs that can be completed within one year of contract
There is no minimum or maximum amount, but ITVS monies must be the last dollars in—meaning they should be sufficient for completing the production. Be realistic and request what you need to finish your program. After review of your budget, ITVS will make an offer of funds that we believe will allow you to complete your project. Please read “How ITVS Funding Is Different from a Grant,” in ITVS Funding Guidelines. |
