2020 ONLINE Film Camp

This year we are so excited offer our summer film camp program online. Our unique approach to storytelling will help each of our camp attendees to understand how to craft a compelling story and capture it for today’s mediums – YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Our week-long camp provides virtual film lessons with industry professionals, and offers high schoolers a chance to express their creative perspective through a quarantine-themed short film challenge.
