The University City Committee for Access and Local Origination Programming (CALOP) seeks formal proposals to produce a broadcast quality documentary on the City of University City, Missouri on the occasion of the centennial of its incorporation in 1906. The finished product should detail the citys rich history, contribution to arts, womens rights and political involvement and the diversity of cultures within its borders from before its incorporation up to the current date. The product should also delve into how the City has successfully addressed the challenges inherent in being an inner-ring suburb. University City wants the best history film ever made on this great city, not just an update of past works. The film shall be of high quality and professional grade, and showcase the unique attributes of this community. It must be delivered in final form no later than January 15, 2006.
Applicants should provide a comprehensive treatment (demonstrating a thorough understanding of the city and its history) a detailed budget for the project including additional sources of funding as required to complete the project. CALOP will provide up to $40,000 toward the completion of the project. The applicant should also demonstrate a proven track record of producing high quality, award winning documentaries or comparable experiences in film making of this nature.
