We Launch Jewish Life TV Film Academy

NYVS.com is a great way to get started in the film and video business.

It's easy to get to and you can work at your own pace.

Many people come to nyvs.com in the hopes of starting or enhancing a career in television and film, and one of the best ways to do that is to affiliate yourself with a TV network that needs content.

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.

You can find out more about the introductory course we’re offering and see how you can become a possible contributor to JLTV (once you take the course and get certified!) by linking here.

If you're an NYVS member and want to take the JLTV course, we're offering discounts. Just let us know.  And, conversely, if you've taken the JLTV bootcamp and want to continue to polish your skills, nyvs.com is a great second step.

Meanwhile, what can we say but Mazel Tov!

Your last comment answered my question. I hope to be able to be at the guardian in January. And I would love to make that video about the courses.

Yes. In London at the offices of The Guardian (which in my opinion is the best newspaper in the world).

I just looked at guardianmediaacademy.com. Sounds Great... one question, the prices are in Pounds so are the classes in the UK?

That's fantastic. Try to get to London for the Guardian. I think it would be a really interesting experience. Also, if you can shoot off a 3o second video about your experiences with the courses, I would be most appreciative. (ie, changed my life!)

Thanks! I took TCA last october in DC. I finished my school in June and now's when I'm dedicating all my time to video. It changed my life and I would love to take another course like it.

Did you take TCA? when was that? BTW, LOVED the spot you did. Very clever! I think what you would really get something out of would be the Guardian Media Academy (www.guardianmediaacademy.com). It's a bit more 'professional'. Check it out
