Filmmaker Boot Camp For Teens

Filmmaker Boot Camp For Teens takes place within a program that offers youth education programs in film. It is connected to a venue that also presents independent and classic films, concerts, and comedy shows, and that hosts a Modesto Film Society with monthly screenings dedicated to the exhibition and preservation of films of exceptional quality and significance. The broader organization also runs a 48 Hour Film Competition and offers private rentals and private screenings for film-related events.

The Filmmaker Boot Camp For Teens is part of an organization whose mission is to enrich the community by offering cultural, educational, film, and performance-based experiences. The organization’s leadership team includes Executive Director Jeff Meanza, General Manager Gabi Guerrini, Operations Manager Tricia Sanchez, and Film Programming Manager Jack Cooke. The organization operates in a historic art deco setting that was originally gifted to the city of Modesto on Christmas Day of 1934 and is located in the center of a revitalized downtown area with offices, retail, restaurants, art galleries, civic centers, clubs, and other cultural and historic sites.
