ABSTRACT

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing your video production on television or bringing your vision to a broader audience than friends and family, now is the time and PBS is the place. PBS-both independently and through its liaison with ITVS-offers unparalleled opportunities for videographers with unique vision and a compelling story. You’ll fi nd a surprising number of opportunities with ongoing series (such as Frontline, American Masters, POV and American Experience), limited jointly curated series (like Digital Divide and Independent Lens) and oneoffs (stand-alone, independent fi lms). This chapter will help you evaluate whether your project is PBS/ITVS material and show you how to break into this ever-expanding market.
