<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">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.</span></p>

premiere of Teza in February 2010; The Cultural Exchange, Hyattsville Branch

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. </span></p>
