Vision Maker Media is inviting proposals for projects aimed at Public Media that showcase the cultures, experiences, and values of American Indians and Alaska Natives. The foundation is looking for provocative and engaging completed programs from independent or public television producers.
These programs should authentically represent the experiences, values, and cultures of Native Americans and Alaska Natives. Priority will be given to projects with strong Native American participation in creative, technical, and advisory roles. The program should have the power to illuminate the Native American experience with originality in concept and style.
Projects should also have the potential to appeal to a national audience. Eligible works include those by independent filmmakers or video makers, including collaborations with stations or organizations. The producer or production entity must retain copyright and maintain artistic, budgetary, and editorial control over the program.
The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2025.
