REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

LOCAL FILMMAKERS SOUGHT FOR UPCOMING PROMOTIONAL VIDEO DEVELOPMENT







Tuesday, November 13th, 2012— The Hyattsville Community Development
Corporation (CDC) is issuing a Request for Qualifications from local
filmmakers for consideration to produce a suite of fixed-budget, short,
clever promotional videos intended to create buzz, market & position the
Prince George’s County Gateway Arts & Entertainment District, and its
stakeholders. Access to other upcoming film-related opportunities working
with small businesses, non-profits, and community projects through referral
is a consideration for the submitter. The CDC seeks submittals that
demonstrate the filmmaker’s ability to meet our marketing needs for a wide
range of purposes. Qualified filmmakers will be contacted as part of our
program, as well as per opportunity.



FILM AND DIGITAL MEDIA IN THE GATEWAY ARTS DISTRICT

The Hyattsville CDC collaborates with, supports, and invests in an
economically-driven network of creative film entrepreneurs looking for
opportunities in Hyattsville and the Gateway Arts District. Film and
digital media (FDM) is an effective means to communicate, launch, and
document influential ideas, unique places and contributions.



Hyattsville CDC has co-sponsored and assisted FDM programming in many
forms: beginning with the Prince George’s County premiere of Teza in
February 2010; The Cultural Exchange, Hyattsville Branch Library’s ongoing
Independent Film Series; the Third DMV International Film Festival in June
2012; and has fostered The Creative Edge Film Studio of Prince George’s
County, to aid in its process building educational programs and film
opportunities across the County.



Filmmakers who deliver creative work, whether formal or cutting-edge, are
invited to submit their Qualifications, along with the supporting material
listed below.

TO INQUIRE

Chosen submittals will enable selected, qualified filmmakers to be
considered for assignment. This request for qualifications is ongoing, on a
per opportunity basis, and selected applicants will be contacted to work
with the CDC on a prospective timeline, production details, and fee
structure. Filmmakers are defined as any individuals or teams that produce
high-quality video media and are 18 and older. This call is open to all
area resident filmmakers, with weighted-preference applied to those who
work/live/exhibit in the Gateway Arts District.



Filmmakers are encouraged to submit via e-mail or via DVD to the below
address. All topics will be accepted as we are looking for materials that
demonstrate your technical competence and narrative ability; however,
marketing pieces, interviews and documentary-style submittals are
suggested. Those already registered on http://MyGatewayArts.org with
materials can describe so in their submissions.



Please send all materials digitally via e-mail or via DVD:

•           Three samples or montages, max., any standard digital format.
Preferably 5-minute each:

o          If submitting via e-mail: send a valid URL link (Vimeo, Website,
or Youtube)

o          If submitting via DVD: Send only 1 DVD please (Write your name,
phone, and e-mail)

and website
