Filmmaking for Kids

Lights, Camera, ACTION! Work together in groups to develop, storyboard and shoot a short film. Then take it home to share with friends and family.

It’s fun, hands-on filmmaking for all to enjoy. We will be involved in creative writing, creating scripts, storyboards, characters and how to show our story through a camera lens.

We will be filming and editing with our own devices if you are able to bring one. (Apple preferred)
It’s an excellent opportunity to show our talents behind and in front of the camera.
