Deliverables & Goals of the Documentary & Telethon Productions   To Educate, Motivate, And  Get People/Businesses To Donate!   DOCUMENTARY   Documentary:  Delivery 4-6 months after securing sponsorship.   It will be... 1) a fast-paced, scalable, production of 90 – 120 minutes which will delineate             a) Veterans’ problems via interviews and day-in-the-life reality footage             b) DAV mission including assisted vets, DAV leadership, on-the-street                  interviews, statistics, etc. 2) a modular production which will support ·        15/30/60/120 second PSAs, ·        1-5 minute segments to show during the telethon ·        5 minute online streaming segments... ·        10-15 minute “luncheon” program segments...  ·        40-60 minute TV segments (40 minutes w ads... 60 w/o ads) ·        90-120 minute full production for theatrical release ·        Others to be determined   Documentary Goal:  To use the power of documentary filmmaking to consistently deliver a modular, veterans’ and DAV’s message that can be deployed in various media without the need of an eloquent spokesperson to explain it.   TELETHON   Telethon:  Delivery no less than one year from the completion of sponsorship   We expect that... 1) the first annual telethon will be between 1-4 hours... 2) it will follow a typical telethon model of... a popular, veteran-respected Master of Ceremonies, segments from the documentary a la the video short, but in greater detail, in-person veteran guest appearances reinforcing the message of the documentary, in-person DAV leadership segments... goals... stats... legislative efforts, programs, guest stars, political leaders, and entertainment, walk-ons of people/corporate leaders making larger donation, a bank of telephone operators – some on stage / others off, and perhaps, and “live remotes” from Departments in time zones to accommodate donations. Addtionally, we are exploring the use of Internet streaming to carry the telethon as well as to solicit donations through a trusted secured server.   Telethon Goals:  To use the broad reach of TV and the Internet... to build a national awareness of the veterans’ plight in general... to delineate the DAV’s broad, all-services, all-war, all-injuries mission... to obtain donations to the DAV for additional/improved services to vets... to encourage public involvement through local volunteer and political efforts.
