Vision Maker Media seeks proposals for public television media fund LINCOLN, Neb. – Vision Maker Media has announced a March 15 dead- line for proposals from independent and public television producers for the 2013 Public Media Content Fund. With funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Vision Maker Media Public Media Content Fund will award support to video projects with significant Native involvement – particu- larly projects that profile American Indian leaders, activists and artists – and help bring the projects to national broadcast on public television. Submitted proposals must be post- marked by March 15, 2013. “The purpose of this funding oppor- tunity is to increase the diversity of voices in public media,” said Assistant Director Georgiana Lee (Navajo). “There are very few avenues open to documentary film- makers and we believe that Vision Maker Media has a great responsibility to support the creation, promotion and distribution of Native media. We also believe that support from our organization can help open doors for various forms of additional funding for our filmmakers.” Projects in any phase of production are eligible to apply for funding with Vision Maker Media. Awards for research and development range from $5,000 to $20,000; awards for production or comple- tion can be up to $100,000; and new media awards range from $5,000 to $20,000. Vision Maker Media does not fully fund programs and awardees are required to seek additional funding from other sources. Programs selected for funding will be offered additional distribution oppor- tunities, including educational and home DVD distribution through visionmak- ermedia.org. Theatrical, non-theatrical, television (free, pay syndicated and video-on-demand), multimedia and Internet broadcasting (i.e., podcasting and streaming) rights are included in this distribution opportunity. “First and foremost, Vision Maker Media is looking for compelling Native stories. Priority will be given to projects intended for the series Native Word: Sto- ries Past & Present,” said Executive Direc- tor Shirley K. Sneve (Rosebud Sioux). “Second, we would like to see programs that accurately illuminate aspects of contemporary Tribal cultures or peoples. The primary audience is PBS viewers, so Vision Maker Media wants stories that transcend American Indian and Alaska Native culture.” Vision Maker Media convenes a panel of public television profession- als, independent producers and Native resource experts to review submissions and recommend proposals for funding. Additionally, Vision Maker Media assists producers with fundraising, navigating Apply now for wildland firefighter jobs in Ore., Calif.
