About
Here’s how the week unfolds:
- Monday – Acting & Character
- We begin with the foundations: truthful acting, character development, emotional stakes, and story building. Students will explore what makes performances compelling and how characters drive narrative.
- Tuesday – Story & Screenplay
- We build the script. Structure, dialogue, scene work. Students collaborate to shape and refine the short film they’ll produce by week’s end.
- Wednesday – Directing & Camera
- Students work both sides of the camera, learning framing, blocking, directing actors, and understanding visual storytelling.
- Thursday – Shoot Day
- Production in full swing. Lights, camera, action. Students rotate roles and execute the film they’ve built together.
- Friday – Editing & Screening
- Post-production and final polish, culminating in a celebratory end-of-day screening for families and friends.
This camp builds:
- Creative confidence
- Collaboration & leadership
- Story structure & screenwriting skills
- On-camera presence
- Technical filmmaking literacy
- Ownership of artistic voice
Spots are limited to ensure a focused, high-quality experience. Let’s make a movie!
