To recap our conversation, I’m currently in pre-production on a short-form documentary series distributed for my Public Television audience. Should I choose your story, there will be three segments produced in this project:

Public Television Interstitial:                                                                                                                                        
This is a 3-5 minute educational segment to be distributed as a standalone interstitial to Public Television Stations nationwide for unlimited broadcast at their discretion (estimated reach is over 60 million households).  This educational documentary is hosted by Joan Lunden which airs between larger peak and prime time programs.
 
Commercial Television:                                                                                                                                        
A 1-minute cross-promotional segment will air on Discovery, TLC, CNN, Travel Channel, Food Network, Fox News, CNBC, MSNBC or equivalent networks which match your organization’s targeted audience.  This will air 50 times in the cities of your choice for peak and prime time programming.
Corporate Documentary / Internet Web Streaming:
The third segment is a 5-6 minute corporate documentary, or corporate identity piece, that is used in conjunction with the email narrowcast campaign as it streams on your website.  The narrowcast reaches your targeted audience up to 1,000,000 people.  We’re currently narrowcasting to over 50 million viewers each month.

As we discussed, on our end there are three basic criteria by which we choose participants to produce for the series:

1)      You must have a storyline that is educationally beneficial.

2)      You must be able to outline a targeted audience for your educational message.

3)      You must have both a desire and ability to educate the public television viewer.

If you meet these criteria, and we choose your story, there are three requirements:

1. You will be available for a one-day, structured, onsite location shoot.
2. You will be responsible for the $22,900 pre-production fee.
3. You can adhere to the timeline for the project.

In the next few days I will be reviewing your story, as well as the collateral materials you agreed to overnight to me. Be sure to send those out immediately. 

To see video examples of our series online follow this LINK.

You can click on industry specific content, located on the right side of the video player. This will stream samples of full length features in all 3 categories – Public Television segments, Corporate Documentaries and Educational Commercials.

To view the password protected section of our site, and to print out the details of this program, please follow these instructions:

Go to this LINK. At the bottom of the home page, under Joan Lunden’s photo, click on the word INVITE and a new page will open. You’ll need to enter a user name and password, both using only lower case letters.  

User = guest
Password = invitation 

Once inside, you’ll find Special Feature Invitation in the upper left hand corner which is a fully interactive, magazine style invitation to guide you through the entire production process, including our timeline.

Also, there is a one page document – the Project at a Glance - which is a comprehensive overview of how your organization can benefit from this project should I choose you as a participant for the series.

You will also find the Project Research Questionnaire at the bottom left hand side of the page.

I will be contacting you on the date and time we agreed upon, or earlier, to schedule the program.

Best Regards,
