With that in mind, we have prepared a brief online survey. It should take between five and seven minutes to complete. It is anonymous and all responses will be kept confidential.
We will be producing a public summary report of survey responses. If you wish to be sent a copy directly, you can indicate this in your response.

Proposals should offer reasoning for the approach to the proposed production, and articulate the interpretive impact of this choice on the story being presented to audiences.
