"While I am a professional filmmaker, I also have been working with high school students for over fifteen years.  And through my work with teens I have found that they can be great filmmakers.  They have great stories to tell and they are passionate about their work.  Kids can be really, really funny or make a documentary that challenges the status quo.   But, too often teen movies look amateur -- not because they were shot by teens, but because teens are beginner filmmakers.  Making a movie is more than just pushing the record button on your camcorder. The good news that in three weeks we can show you the techniques and equipment that will help you to take your amateur movie and make it look pro." - Troy Lanier
