We Launch JLTV Film Academy

Sign up now!

A few years ago we launched The Travel Channel Academy in partnership with The Travel Channel.

It was a resounding success.

We trained several thousand people and in the end fielded a trained army of content providers for The Travel Channel all over the world.

We learned two things from our experience with Current TV.

First, that there are thousands of people, perhaps millions, with great stories to tell who want to tell them.

Second, that if left untrained and unfocused, much of what they make, no matter how well-intentioned, is junk.

So we set out to train those who wanted to participate in the digital revolution and put them in touch with the people who wanted their content most.

Now, we’re launching The Jewish Life TV Film Academy.

Jewish Life TV is a relatively new cable channel.  Based in Los Angeles, it is the world’s only 24-hour Jewish-themed TV Channel. Launched in 2007, JLTV is now in more than 25 million homes and growing fast.  Its spotlight on Israel and Jewish life is facilitated by broadcast studios in Los Angeles, New York and Toronto as well as bureaus in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Washington DC, Miami, London and Moscow.

But now, we are going to be able to vastly expand the reach and content of JLTV by bringing in their viewers as producers of content.

But we’re not talking about Youtube.

We have been in the business of training people worldwide to make great video on their own, and our emphasis is and always has been on quality.

It’s a perfect match – cable channels that want and need new and creative content and viewers who want to contribute to the channel.

Meanwhile, what can we say but Mazel Tov!
