Viacom is home to the world’s premier entertainment brands that connect with audiences through compelling content across television, motion picture, online and mobile platforms in over 160 countries and territories.
The ViewFinder: Emerging Directors Program is a Viacom-wide initiative which seeks to provide directors with underrepresented voices an opportunity to enhance their skill set and grow their network, and giving them the chance to change the conversation. Program participants will shadow established directors on scripted and non-scripted programming across all Viacom brands and platforms.
Each one of Viacom's Brand Partners has a specific voice that reaches out to the world and connects with a core audience.
Viacom's ViewFinder mission is to find talented and emerging visual storytellers, connect them with Viacom's Brand Partners, and help bring their unique voices and experiences into the world of television.
