Deadline Friday, 8 July 2011: Apply for the 2011 Producers Academy
NCME is pleased to be working with WGBH in support of the 2011 CPB/PBS Producers Academy. For more than 10 years the Producers Academy, under the leadership of veteran executive producer Judith Vecchione (The Longoria Affair, 2010; Eyes on the Prize, 1989), has offered intensive production skills training to nearly 200 mid-career producers who create content for public media. Alumni include Laurens Grant (Freedom Riders, 2010), Kirstin Lesko (Operation Homecoming, 2007) and Jorge Aguirre (History Detectives).
This year’s CPB/PBS Producers Academy is October 15-21, and the deadline to apply is Friday, July 8. Awardees will receive a scholarship that covers the cost of the workshop, as well as reasonable expenses for airfare, hotel accommodations, meals and limited ground transportation. Scholarships will be announced by August 26, 2011.
