The National Black Programming Consortium’s 2009 Open Call has been posted:

If you are looking for funds to shoot and complete your film, then you definitely want to mark June 2, 2008 on your calendar! That date is this year’s deadline for NBPC’s Open Call and while it may seem far away, the deadline is soon approaching and we want to make sure you are equipped with all the necessary information to submit a qualifying and stellar proposal.

To answer any and all questions you will have about Open Call, we will host an Online Information Session with NBPC’s Director of Programming, Leslie Fields-Cruz, on April 9, 2008 at 7 pm EST. Guidelines for the application are on the NBPC website and the online application will be available on April 15, 2008.

NBPC welcomes projects from producers and directors whose work have the potential for airing on the national or regional public television schedule. Previous NBPC licensed work has aired on PBS Series such as Independent Lens, POV, American Experience, American Masters, as PBS specials or limited series, and for NBPC’s own series, AfroPop: The Ultimate Exchange Program.

Make sure to sign up at nbpc.tv to receive emailed updates and news about 2009 Open Call. We look forward to hearing from you!
