Do you, or a group that you’re involved with, have something to say to the people of New Zealand?
Open Door is a unique television series that lets you apply to have a documentary made about an issue, group or event that you’re involved with in your community.
If you’re actively involved with an issue - be it family, social, environmental, or whatever - a door is about to open again on TV3 Network Television. Open Door is unique in that it allows groups and individuals to speak for themselves. The format is straightforward. Only people directly involved in the issues appear on the screen, rather than "experts" and commentators, or outside observers. The programmes are made using the expertise and equipment of the production team but with participants taking editorial control: nothing will appear in the program that you’re not happy with. Open Door offers the opportunity to let people have their own say in their own way. We are looking for people with an energetic commitment to a matter that they’re actively involved in.
The key to the success of the process is having a clear idea of what you want to say. The programmes, which are fully funded by New Zealand On Air, will be broadcast by TV3 (who have the final say on which 10 proposals are chosen). Many of the previous participants also found that the DVD copies of their programme proved to be a valuable and lasting resource.
