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!
