Documentaries of any length. Short projects (10 mins. and under) are welcome and encouraged. Producers will be asked to cut works longer than 30:00 to comply with our broadcast format and content needs. Editing of content will be handled on a case by case basis.
Non-fiction content only.
Projects that have all releases, permissions and cleared rights.
International content is encouraged.
Stories that give voice to underrepresented communities are encouraged.
Broadcast premiere. Preference will be given to projects having their broadcast premiere on IN THE LIFE.
IN THE LIFE will consider projects with evergreen content (like historical docs etc) if it has had limited television exposure. This is a rare opportunity for a 2nd or 3rd window for evergreen content.
Projects that follow APT underwriting and funding guidelines. Further details are available at APT National Program Funding Standards and Practices.
Documentaries that are near completion. Occasionally IN THE LIFE MEDIA, INC.will provide limited funds or resources like sound design, mixing, on-line editing, etc for completion. Such funding will be applied towards the acquisition fee for broadcast rights.
