The Interfaith Broadcasting Commission is a nonprofit cooperative venture of America’s faith communities – a broad coalition ranging from Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Christians to Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Baha'i organizations among others — in partnership with the ABC, CBS and NBC television networks and their affiliated stations in every part of the nation.
The IBC distributes high-quality one-hour documentaries that offer a faith-based perspective four to six times a year on ABC and NBC - bringing to the broadcast industry and the general public thoughtful, original content that heightens the awareness of and appreciation for the many ways that religious faith plays a positive role in American life.
Given our national reach, the IBC encourages filmmakers exploring faith-based subject matter to submit their films for consideration on our yearly slate.
If you have produced a faith-based documentary (social justice initiative seen through the lens of faith; precepts of a faith; biography of a faith leader, etc.) that is primarily in the English language but lack a distribution network, contact us about how your film could be included in the next season’s line-up.
With so many wonderful documentaries never seeing the light of day and the festival circuit essentially serving as de facto distribution, it's a rare achievement for filmmakers to showcase their work before a nationwide audience on broadcast TV. The IBC however offers such a unique and terrific opportunity. We hope you'll take advantage of it!
Additionally, at the conclusion of the documentary's broadcast, filmmakers will be afforded a title card in the credits where they can provide a phone number for viewers who would like to purchase a copy of their film.
