Today, instructional online media company Howcast<\/strong><\/a> announced that it is expanding its Emerging Filmmakers Program<\/strong><\/a> (EFP), offering filmmakers <\/strong>a tiered program that will allow them to get more involved with more challenging — and rewarding — video-making<\/strong>.

The tiered program will allow filmmakers to move up to new levels based on the creativity <\/strong>and quality <\/strong>of their videos. Howcast’s producers will grade each video based on technical execution<\/strong>, style<\/strong>, production design<\/strong>, concept<\/strong>, and clarity<\/strong>, personal feedback that helps filmmakers increase their skills — and their compensation<\/strong>. Filmmakers who consistently impress can also take on special topics, shooting some of the most challenging scripts and working more closely with Howcast producers to develop treatments<\/strong>, determine casting<\/strong>, and select locations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“It’s always been hard as a filmmaker to establish yourself<\/strong> in the industry, and it seems like the competition and market get tougher every year,” said Heather Menicucci<\/strong>, managing producer of Howcast Emerging Filmmakers Program. “The program gives new filmmakers a chance to make video and earn money<\/strong> in their spare time. It’s a real-world chance to be creative and build a reel<\/strong> they’ll be proud to share.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The EFP allows filmmakers to focus on their core skills<\/strong> and encourages them to devise creative concepts and use innovative shooting and editing techniques<\/strong> to teach viewers something new.<\/p>\n

Howcast empowers people with engaging, useful how-to<\/strong> information wherever, whenever they need to know how. From How to Paint a Wall and How to Build a Snow Cave to How to Smart Mob, Howcast streams tens of millions of videos every month across its multi-platform distribution network.
