From there, the film campers work with the students in the Acting Camp to bring their films to life. As they work with the actors, they learn set etiquette, casting techniques, and how to direct an actor. At the end of the week, there’s a pizza party for the filmmakers and actors, followed by a movie screening where friends and family can watch the films in the theater at Compass College!

“Film camp was a great first look into the industry! It’s a great starter program to get your feet wet. I was immediately hooked. Attending Film Camp also played a major role in my decision to attend CCCA for my college degree.”
John LeFan, Student CCCA Class of 2013
