NY Post Calls for Pitches and Submissions for “Extraordinary People” Series

Extraordinary People – CALL FOR PITCHES FOR NY POST

Description:

Looking for short documentaries on the world’s most interesting, peculiar and extraordinary people for our website, social feeds and Facebook Watch channel.

Check out the FB site for reference: https://www.facebook.com/ExtraordinaryPeople/

Subjects should have a visual aspect that lends themselves to video.

When considering a pitch, the first thing we think about is the headline.  We are, after all, the New York Post.
Is the possible headline interesting? Would you want to share this on your social feed as something really cool? Would your friends?
The NY Post wants to be able to introduce a world that the audience hasn’t seen before. These people should have a bit of the flavor and voice that you’d expect to find in the NY Post – Fearless, Honest, Unfiltered and Irreverent.

*When pitching please include links to any previous press, video, pictures or information if available.

Deliverables: 

Fully edited videos- TRT: Approximately 3:30

**this is a paid position for completed projects.
