Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

Truly CA Season 7 Call For Entries - Deadline next week

I wanted to remind everyone that the deadline to submit your film to Truly CA is early next week. We hope you will consider submitting your film.

http://www.kqed.org/arts/programs/trulyca/entries.jsp

In the spirit of expanding our commitment to diverse voices and viewpoints, and our belief in the power of independent film to educate, entertain and enlighten audiences, KQED-TV, the PBS station in San Francisco, CA, has created Truly CA, an exciting showcase for the best documentary films about the Golden State.

Truly CA documentaries must be about California in some way -- not just taking place in California. The films must also be primarily shot in California, and made by independent, documentary filmmakers. Our taste is eclectic: we seek films that cover a broad range of topics and filmmaking styles. We look for well-crafted stories featuring compelling characters -stories that are provocative, passionate, and unforgettable. Not only do we want well-told stories, we're interested in well-made films, works that are both thought-provoking and eye-opening.

Submitted rough cuts and fine cuts should be as close to an hour as possible, festival versions are acceptable. However, if a film is selected for the series, filmmakers will be required to cut their projects to a PBS hour (approximately 52-54 minutes) prior to broadcast. Films selected for Truly CA will receive KQED packaging, closed captioning, information about the film on the series website, promotion, an HD copy of their broadcast ready film, and a modest licensing fee for local broadcast rights.

Season 7 Deadline: All materials must arrive at KQED's offices by 5pm, January 11, 2011. This is not a postmark deadline.

Please email me if you have any questions.

Series Producer, Truly CA, KQED
