SUMMARY:RI PBS - Request for Proposal: Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:This is a funding opportunity for independent producers from Rhode Island PBS. Read on for details and submission information.

A year that altered plans\, ruined lives and for far too many ended their journey. It has caused all of us to rethink how we run our businesses\, interact socially and at the very basic level\, how we live our lives. With all the bad that has happened in the past ten/eleven months\, there is certainly a lot of good out there also. This is where you come in. Rhode Island PBS is asking for proposals from independent producers to develop and produce short films 3 – 5 minutes in duration with the subject being the COVID-19 pandemic. These films will be broadcast on the channels of Rhode Island PBS and their digital media outlets. \nBackground\nRhode Island PBS has a proud tradition of producing and presenting award-winning content that spans the interests of preschoolers to senior citizens\, staying true to our mission of engaging viewers of all ages since 1967. \nAs television\, we are Rhode Island’s most accessible learning resource. We are committed to the principle of lifelong learning\, and carry that message “beyond the box” into the community. With that commitment and our mission at our core\, our vision is to help build a better and stronger community. \nMuch of the success of Rhode Island PBS has been achieved through partnerships and\ncollaborations with key stakeholders and talented individuals in our community. We are now\nlooking to expand these relationships to highlight how 2020 has impacted us. \nProject\nWe are looking for the production of 3 – 5 minute short films which respond to the global pandemic. The subject can be of a personal response (i.e. the point of view of a health care professional\, small business owner or even a parent) or a community story that reflects on the pandemic from either a contemporary or historical perspective\, humor and of course\, creativity is encouraged. \nFunding Potential\nRecognizing the need for assistance with this project\, we are offering funding at the levels that\nfollow:\n– 3 films at $5\,000 each;\n– 3 student or recent graduate films at $3\,000 – plus a $1\,000 honorarium for any advisor who\nassists the student or graduate. \nHow to Apply\nSubmit a one to two-page proposal covering the following for your project to Lori Sullivan\,\nDirector of Content\, Rhode Island PBS\, 50 Park Lane\, Providence\, RI 02903\, (electronic\nsubmission via email preferred) lsullivan@ripbs.org. \n\nLogline – a brief\, one-sentence\, summary of your program\, that states the central conflict of the story\, a synopsis of the story’s plot\, and an emotional “hook” to stimulate interest.\nStory Summary – What is your story?
