Join us for an insiders’ look at what makes a successful collaboration between filmmakers and PBS’s P.O.V. The series—public television’s premier showcase for independent documentaries--reaches over 97 percent of American TV viewers with a cumulative audience average of 2.5 million per program. The 800 programs submitted for consideration each year undergo a rigorous review process that involves independent media professionals, public television station programmers and PBS departments. Once chosen, the filmmakers and P.O.V. craft a broadcast plan that includes a national press campaign and a marketing initiative that provides a springboard for the film.
