NALIP "COLLABORATIVE
FUND" NOW AVAILABLE
Dear NALIP Members,
NALIP's Board of Directors is pleased
to announce that it has outlined the following guidelines
for a Collaborative Fund to which you may apply. The
NALIP Board voted to combine a portion of your membership
dues with a portion of our fundraising efforts to create a
fund for which you can apply. In order to access these funds,
you need to do the following:
1. Submit to the
Board Treasurer (Alex Rodriguez) and ED (me) a proposal about
who you are. (You need not be a full-fledged chapter yet:
you can be a Special Interest Group, you may be developing
a chapter, you may be some members looking to work with another
non-profit in your area, etc. The only basic criteria is that
you are a NALIP member.)
2. Tell us what you
would like the money for -- a one-page proposal that details
your activity and describes the program, the equipment, the
seminar, the screening series, whatever. Please include in
this a statement about how you envision this project will
benefit Latino Producers in your region.
3. Submit a timetable and a budget,
up to a page in length, describing how you will allocate the
funds and over what period of time. You can request $50-1,000
from the Collaborative Fund but bear in mind that NALIP will
try to give more small grants than a few large ones.
4. Include a fundraising
strategy -- describe how you will match these funds locally,
either through funds your group has raised, through ticket
sales or through the support of another local organization.
Please send
the proposal to:
"Collaborative Fund" c/o NALIP
P.O.
Box 1247
Santa
Monica, CA 90401
Or Email NalipED@msn.com
That's it! This is an added benefit
of membership to NALIP members (and is not in lieu of the
fixed annual grant given to bona fide chapters for their listserv
and other overhead costs).
So let us know how
this Fund can help you.

in the country. Over 85,000 people have attended during the

MTV LOOKING FOR THE "LATINA EXPERIENCE"
Hello
everyone,
I am working with MTV in trying to find young Latinas (age
16-22) who are PRESENTLY dealing with issues that are in conflict
with their families. MTV is focusing on the "Latina experience"
in America and would like to create a documentary of a young
Latina and her family as they struggle to live under two cultures.
Again, it's important that we find young women who are
now struggling with an issue within their families that has
arisen because their parents have different expectations and
cultural beliefs. The documentary is a tender examination
of when cultures clash. Each
episode is positive, sensitive and balanced. We've done this
with our two prior episodes on the Asian experience in America
and we're hoping to document the struggles Latinas face, as
well.
Here's a weblink that explains the show:

Stentz (Agent Cody Banks, Andromeda), and director Robert

We delight in bringing our screenwriting competitors
together with industry veterans. Academy-Award nominated screenwriter,
Stephen J. Rivele (last year's presenter) heads our Board
of Directors and is also one of this year's judges, says of
his participation, "I believe in finding new talent, original
ideas and fresh perspectives and fostering it and the IndieProducer
contest enables me to do that." The top ten finalists from
the Third Annual IP2004 Screenwriting Competition will be
invited to the IP Awards Gala in Hollywood, California in
February 2004.
IndieProducer's founder; Kerry David ("Agent Cody
Banks 1 and 2", "My Date with Drew", "Perfect Romance") founded
IndieProducer to become the ultimate resource for independent
filmmakers worldwide. IP's motto is "Independent is a state
of mind, not a budget".
