The Fine Print:
MNTV is a three-part series of short films made by Minnesota filmmakers and aired on Twin Cities Public Television. Walker Art Center Film and Video Department, IFP Minnesota, and TPT have teamed up to produce the 2010 MNTV season. The Jerome Foundation provides the funding for the program.
The goal of MNTV is to provide a television broadcast venue for short-form film and video makers and to nurture an audience for their work. The MNTV program often represents the first time local filmmakers are compensated financially for the projects they produce and direct. Licensing fees of $500 are paid to the filmmakers for the broadcasts on TPT.
Works must have a running time of no longer than 30 minutes. Artists must have created the work since January 1, 2008, and resided in the state of Minnesota at the time the submitted work was produced. A panel of judges from the partnering organizations will judge the submissions based on:
• Production quality and craft
• Originality
• Concept
• Diversity
• Suitability for television
• Ability of filmmakers to present their applications in an articulate and professional manner
Funding for MNTV is provided by the Jerome Foundation.
