AMERICAN EXPERIENCE looks for good dramatic stories out of the American past, stories about people both ordinary and extraordinary, about events that helped define who we are as Americans and why we are the way we are. We accept completed films and works-in-progress (including films in production, films at rough cut and films with substantial funding in-hand.) We are not currently accepting proposals for film ideas.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE does not own the rights to most of the images on this site. The series makes arrangements with image owners to use the images with their permission. You can do the same; contact the owner of the image that interests you to find out what is required. Many AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Web sites include the name of the source next to each image.
The series’ original theme music was composed by Charles Kuskin and the series adaptation was produced by Michael Bacon. Most of the music from AMERICAN EXPERIENCE films, including the series theme music, is not available for purchase, but you can check the film credits for a particular film (under the Film Description in the Film & More section, or in the About/Watch the Program section, of the Web site) for more information on the music used in a particular film.
