How do I apply and submit?

SAMPLE VIDEO

• Create and submit a 2-3 minute sample video, specifically made for All The World about a subject matter we would appreciate. Treat it as a short version of a film one could find within the All The World Library.
• The sample video needs to feature the host – either yourself or someone you team up with – as the on-camera talent and voice-over narrator. We prefer narration in English, but if your mother tongue is either Japanese, Korean, Spanish or Chinese, we would equally appreciate your narration in either of those languages.

STORY IDEAS

• In addition to your sample video, in short paragraphs, write up one or two story ideas for short educational docs you would like to make for All The World in the future.

BIO

• Submit your contact info: full name, e-mail, phone number, city and country.

CONSIDERATION

• Consider teaming up with other filmmakers to produce multiple films and support each other in the process. The sample video is not meant to be featured on the show and will not be paid for.

SUBMISSION

• Submit all info in an e-mail to jobs@alltheworld.com. Embed your sample video in your e-mail with a link to a file transfer service like we transfer.

What is All The World?

• All The World is a weekly show and video library, featuring inspiring videos for children 4-10 years old.
• The 5-12 min videos explain how the world works and challenge kids to explore. The show’s charismatic hosts engage children to learn and grow while sharing a real-world experience, all filmed in live-action.
• Cultivated with educators, the videos explore topics in science, nature, arts, crafting and inspire socio-emotional growth, self-awareness, empathy and creativity.
• All the World is entertaining and fun, while furthering children’s social intelligence and innovative thinking.
• All content is available in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese and Korean, making All The World a valuable resource for second language learners – for children and adults alike.

• Our films aim to be meaningful and inspire kids to explore the world and their emotions.
• Our films highlight real life experiences and show kids how the world works.

• Our films are mildly paced, the voice-overs always calm and down to earth, the music and feel always soothing.
• Our films are always narrated by the filmmakers/hosts voice-over in their native tongue, be that English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish or Chinese.
• Our films often feature the filmmakers as on-camera hosts of the films.
• Our films DO NOT allow for on-camera dialogue for the purpose of translations.
