Request for Native American Short Film Submissions

The Futuro Media Group in conjunction with Native American Public Telecommunications, Inc. (NAPT) is requesting short, independent film submissions to air as part of a PBS pilot called America by the Numbers. The pilot episode - funded by the National Minority Consortia (NMC), NAPT and the Ford Foundation - is called "Do it Yourself (DIY) Democracy."

 

Qualifying short film submissions that are one to three minutes in length would be the ender segment of a half-hour television pilot that will air nationally on PBS, anchored by PBS and NPR correspondent Maria Hinojosa.

 

Though their budget is limited, they are offering an honorarium for the work - including filmmaker credit, of course - and the opportunity for your work to be seen nationally on PBS. They also hope that this collaboration encourages an ongoing relationship with America by the Numbers should it go to series.
