Filmmaking Summer Camp

Our Filmmaking camp is designed to teach high school students not only how to use professional level equipment, but also how to work as a team to write, produce, and edit a short film by the end of just two weeks. At the end of the Filmmaking Summer Camp, all of the films will be presented at a showcase for the campers and their family and friends.
