Calendar – Past Event

Vision Maker Media invites proposals for programs intended for Public Television that represent the experiences, values, and cultures of American Indians and Alaska Natives.

Programs should be accessible to a broad audience, have the potential for a national broadcast, and can be used for effective outreach and engagement activities to reach audiences beyond the Public Television broadcast. Assignment of exclusive broadcast rights for four years and one year off-air recording rights for educators are included in Vision Maker Media´s Production License Agreement. All completed programs are required to meet the PBS Technical Operating Specifications and Production Guidelines as outlined in the PBS Red Book, online at www.pbs.org/producing/red-book/.

Programs will be offered additional distribution opportunities through Vision Maker Media, including educational and home DVD distribution through www.VisionMakerMedia.org.Theatrical, non-theatrical, television (free, pay syndicated and video-on-demand), multimedia and Internet broadcasting (including podcasting and streaming) rights may also be included in this distribution opportunity.

Vision Maker Media wishes to extend the impact of documentaries broadcast on PBS. Consideration will be given to programs that can be part of an overarching series presented to PBS that profiles Native American leaders, activists and artists-those whose work has great
impact on Native culture today.
