New to 2026, our Intro to Filmmaking program will engage younger creatives and Film Production is for the older teens with a keen interest in film production.Intro to Filmmaking (Ages 9 -13)
This is a hands-on collaborative class geared at new and developing film and media makers. We’ll explore what is a story and why it’s important in film. Students will learn camera operation, video editing and work together to produce short form films with an emphasis on experimentation and fun. 13 year olds are allowed in this or the teens class depending on whichever is a better fit for their maturity level.
Film Production (Ages 13- 18)
This is a hands on collaborative filmmaking class for new and returning students looking to explore a deeper level of cinematic storytelling. From examples of the masters to our own original story pitches; students will take the journey from creative idea to writing and then producing one longer form film during the semester. During the journey, they will gain experience in acting, screenwriting, directing, sound recording, video editing and movie poster design. 13 year olds are allowed in this or the younger class depending on whichever is a better fit for their maturity level.
