Film Making for Kids

It’s time to make a movie! Get together with your own film crew to take a short film idea, film it and take it home to share with friends and family.

It’s fun, hands-on filmmaking for all to enjoy. You’ll learn the fundamentals of filming with digital video cameras and then how to use them as part of a film project. With a small group, you'll create a short film with a focus on storyboarding, performing, writing and filming techniques. Finally, you’ll get in front of the camera and do some performing! It’s an excellent opportunity to do some drama and show off your acting flair in front of the camera.
