Description
The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy in Bogotá seeks a media‑production partner to create short‑form digital videos and written testimonials that showcase Colombians who have chosen to stay or return home, highlighting personal resilience, purpose, and community impact. Up to ten awards of $40‑$50 K each will fund a six‑month project that delivers at least 15 video profiles, distributes them via Embassy and Colombian media platforms, and may develop a longer documentary for festival submission. The effort supports U.S. migration reduction goals through non‑political storytelling.
• Produce ≥15 short‑form video profiles and accompanying written testimonials.
• Target audiences: potential migrants in high‑emigration regions (Valle del Cauca, Cauca, Risaralda, Quindío, Caldas, Antioquia, Bogotá) and their families.
• Distribute content on Embassy digital channels and Colombian media outlets; explore longer‑form documentary.
• Required deliverables: video files, transcripts, monitoring & evaluation plan, budget, and final report.
• Eligible applicants: NGOs, universities, media production firms, journalists (U.S. or Colombia‑based) with prior documentary experience.
