Request For Proposals: Produce Short Films for Vermont-BASED Educational Nonprofit ORGANIZATION 

The Rowland Foundation seeks proposals from qualified vendors to produce 5-7 short films that feature the work of our organization. Each film will be 3-5 minutes in length and include interviews and B-roll filmed at 5-6 Vermont schools. Each film will be directed by the Rowland Foundation's Executive Director with a focus on a different aspect of the Rowland Foundation's work with Vermont schools (e.g., shared leadership, student-led change, community connections, democratic mission).

The Rowland Foundation short films will:

- Convey the mission and values of the Rowland Foundation in substance and style

- Interest Vermont educators as a primary audience, and parents and community members as a secondary audience

- Inspire Vermont teachers to apply for Rowland Fellowships and attend the Annual Rowland Conference

- Reflect high quality production in all aspects, including sound, images, and editing

- Include closed captioning

- Not include voiceover narration or special effects

- Reach Vermonters via the Foundation's website, social media, communications and events

Proposals should include:

- Detailed cost estimate for the work provided, not to exceed $35,000

- Delivery time frame for the project and availability in Fall 2024

- Examples of similar work and/or portfolio

- Approach and methodology for pre-production, production, and post-production and process for collaborating with the Rowland Foundation Executive Director

- List of anticipated deliverables, including production schedule, raw footage, rough cuts and incorporation of feedback, and final cuts in appropriate formats and aspect ratios.
