Watch Disney XD by Maker

Cable channel Disney XD and network Maker Studios are looking for young YouTube talent who may get a shot at developing their own TV pilots - the latest bit of corporate synergy the Mouse House is trying to create since buying the MCN. They're collaborating on Disney XD by Maker, an initiative to find and develop video concepts for distribution on YouTube, as well as potentially DisneyXD.com and the Watch Disney XD app. The "best of the best" might even be developed as original television series pilots for Disney XD. Disney XD by Maker will use the Maker Offers platform to provide funding for video concepts with budgets up to $1,000 each. Maker has already lined up members of its talent roster - including CaptainSparklez, forrestfire101, ZexyZek, 101DarkMonkey, EvanTube, Luzu and Lana, and Random Encounters - to create original content specifically for this program.
