ITVS IS LOOKING FOR

• programs that will bring new audiences, topics and voices to public television
• television programs in any genre, including drama, documentary, docudrama, animation, experimental works or innovative combinations
• single programs of standard broadcast length (56:40 or 26:40). In rare cases when a maker’s skills, subject and story structure warrant it, ITVS will consider programs at feature lengths through the Open Call and DDF initiatives.

ITVS IS NOT LOOKING FOR PROGRAMS THAT ARE

• completed and only seeking distribution
• series proposals
• projects intended solely for theatrical release

HOW IS ITVS FUNDING DIFFERENT FROM A GRANT?
Accepted applicants will receive funding in the form of a “Production License Agreement” for production (Open Call or LInCS) or a “Development/Option Agreement” for development (DDF). Both of these contracts assign ITVS certain important rights over the production. Please read carefully the “ITVS License Agreement”.
