ITVS International Call Application Opens Today!

International Call Application Opens November 1, 2011

ITVS International are seeking proposals for single documentaries with powerful global stories that inform, inspire, and connect Americans to the world at large. Previously awarded films include Last Train Home and the wonderful Waltz with Bashir.

The International Call funding initiative was created to give U.S. audiences access to international programming and voices on American television. International Call funding is only available to independent producers who are neither U.S. citizens nor residents of the U.S.

International Call accepts:

Single programs of standard broadcast length (one-hour). In rare cases, when a filmmaker’s skills, subject, and story structure warrant it, ITVS will consider programs at feature lengths.
Works-in-progress, i.e. projects that have already begun production
Programs that can be completed within one year of contract
Co-production projects with either international broadcast partner(s) or co-productions with producers from different countries

International Call does not accept:

Subject matter based in the United States, lifestyle, or children’s programming
Proposals for completed projects seeking acquisition and distribution
Series proposals or fictional dramas
Projects intended solely for theatrical release
