Join the wave of new-media makers creating professional web video. Watch your audience grow as we distribute and promote your Howcast videos across the web (on AOL, Yahoo!, Hulu, and others) and beyond (to the iPhone, TiVo, and iTunes).

As you envision, make, and launch video after video, you’ll find yourself emerging as a professional filmmaker with the production, creative, and entrepreneurial chops to establish yourself in the industry.
The Emerging Filmmakers Program has given me a lot of confidence with my directing and editing style, and now I have more professional material for my director's reel. Their producers provide good feedback and they leave the director with lots of control over the end result.
