Pitches Needed for Compelling Election Videos

The WGBH Lab and P.O.V. are seeking pitches for compelling videos shorts about the themes surrounding the 2008 Election. If selected, pitch writers will be paid $2,000 to make their short, get feedback from industry professionals, have their shorts featured online at the P.O.V. and Lab websites, and may be broadcast nationally. We feel this represents a great opportunity for filmmakers across the nation to really create something new and exciting that’s relevant to the world today.

The Lab is a small part of WGBH -- the big PBS station that makes “Nova” and “Antiques Roadshow” -- with a focus on independent filmmakers. The Lab is partnering with P.O.V. to offer filmmakers a chance to create fully funded shorts with potential national broadcast on PBS.

Pitches are being accepted April 7 through May 2. More information can be found at: http://lab.wgbh.org/open-call/election2008 or contact Brian Retchless, Production Coordinator, WGBH Lab, One Guest St., Boston, MA 02135; 617-300-2419.
