Logline

A short summary of your story idea.

Synopsis

A more detailed description of you project. Dive into the heart of your project, whether that’s a teaser of what makes your story unique, the question your project will ask or a juicy hook.

60 Second Pitch Video

Create a short pitch video that tells us about you and your project! Enter a public or unlisted YouTube link to your 60 second pitch video. Please note: The podcast host must appear on-camera in the pitch video.

Inclusion Statement

This is an opportunity to tell us more about how your project is increasing representation in front of and behind the camera/microphone. What choices are you making regarding your team, subject matter, interview subjects, writing, hiring and shooting.

Why you?

Tell us why you want to make this project? Why is this project important to you? Why are you the best person to produce this project? What is your connection to the community involved? What makes your project unique? If required for your project, how do you plan to ensure a fair and balanced perspective? For example, if your project will address topics that are culturally specific, what is your connection to the culture being represented?
