Age Groups and Focus:

Ages 10-13: Explore the fundamentals of storytelling and filmmaking. Participants will engage in hands-on activities like storyboarding, basic cinematography, and acting. Each session will focus on a different aspect of film production, culminating in the creation of short films that reflect themes such as friendship, adventure, or family.

Ages 14-17: Students will dive deeper into the intricacies of filmmaking. This group will tackle advanced topics such as scriptwriting, directing, editing, and sound design. Students will collaborate to produce short films centered around more complex themes like social justice, environmental awareness, or historical events, providing a richer canvas to express their creativity and technical skills.

End of Program Screening: We will celebrate the creativity and hard work of our young filmmakers at our end-of-program screening event. This special day will be an opportunity for students to premiere their short films to their family, friends, and the community. 🎥
