Ok I didn't know what Tongal was so I looked up those links. They are a US-based project management and booking agency. They act as middlemen between end-clients who want various types of non-broadcast films made (e.g. educational, training, marketing, promotion, instructional videos), and freelance independents who pitch for the work. In this case, the end client is Fox. I guess the respondents they are expecting to apply will be first and foremost from their database of freelance contractors who have an existing relationship with them. But all applicants are welcome.
The cutoff date for initial pitch is 4 July so that's not far away, but probably pretty typical for the types of projects they usually handle. So if anyone's interested, the first thing you need to do is find an AMERICAN producer who is willing to front for you. Preferably a producer who works for an existing professional production company (an LLC), because you're going to need to make use of their existing infrastructure for business-type things: legal, banking, book-keeping, hiring of crew and equipment, insurance, logistics, that kind of stuff. You'll also need to get this producer enthused because this person (or rather their LLC) will be the actual competition applicant, and the one who will be responsible to Fox to the tune of $30,000. Once you get this American producer on-board, all crew they hire can potentially be from anywhere in the world (e.g. a U.K. visual effects artist who could interface via internet).
So if you've got a story idea, great, but you need to find that producer!!!
