SRP: Video Pitch

Applications welcome in English. Please refer to the Video Pitches page for more details on the stories and topics we’re looking for.

We occasionally accept finished work, but we’re more liable to accept and commission productions in their early stages (i.e. in the pitch and research, or pre-production, stage).

Mongabay only commissions original stories that have not been published in other outlets.
