H-Tv

We’ve all used and heard some form of the idiom "it's the greatest thing since sliced bread!" But did you know we can thank a town in Missouri for the invention? The town of Chillicothe in Livingston County claims the title of the Home of Sliced Bread. Watch our newest short film to hear the story.

Content For Humans, By Humans

Our goal is to erase the stigma around the word "Humanities." H-Tv invites filmmakers to engage with an audience that is interested in the humanities, or interested in expanding their perception of the humanities.

What content should you submit? We welcome videos (single projects or multi-episode series) up to 90 minutes in length. Projects to consider submitting include, but are not limited to: short- and long-form documentaries, video podcasts, human interest features, interviews, and multi-episode series featuring humanities-based topics.
