Campers will learn to craft stories, write screenplays and render them into completed films. Subjects include writing, directing, cinematography, acting, lighting, sound and more!

The camp focuses, as all good movies must, on storytelling. Kids will learn to turn their stories into compelling sequences that build tension and suspense. Campers will write a short script and concurrently get an overview of cinematography, with industry experts explaining the production equipment. The experts will demonstrate shots, camera angles, and essential sound and lighting principles.

At the end of week 1, the faculty will choose up to four of the campers' original films for actual production. It will then divide campers into production teams in preparation for the next three days, during which they will shoot the scripts.

Camp consists of 7 sessions over 2 weeks.
