Helpful resources for filmmakers.

PBS

Producers can find comprehensive information about submitting to PBS and the resources required to assemble materials for review. As a public service provider and a membership organization, PBS must serve and anticipate the constantly changing needs of member stations and their audiences.  PBS meets these challenges by pursuing programs employing innovative techniques to satisfy viewers' interests in a multitude of subjects including News and Public Affairs, Science & Natural History, Drama & Performing Arts, and Children's Programming.

They work with independent producers to create and present programs that take creative risks, advance issues, and represent points of view not usually seen on public or commercial television. ITVS is committed to programming that addresses the needs of underserved and underrepresented audiences. ITVS looks for programs that bring new audiences to public television and that expand civic participation by bringing diverse voices into the public sphere.
