Teen Filmmakers Workshop
Ages 14 - 17

Wanna be a filmmaker? Now you can. Learn how to format and structure a screenplay. Cast your own production. Rehearse and direct the actors. Learn the technique and subtle nuances of lighting a scene. Learn to get professional quality sound, shoot your scenes, learn to log and capture your footage on an iMac using Final Cut. Creating a time line, inserting footage and special effects, and building a soundtrack are among the post-production subjects to be covered. Collaborate with your fellow crew members as you fine tune your project and prepare to show it to the world. Are they ready? Are you? Got what it takes? You’ll have your chance to show us what you got this summer during our two-week workshop.

Whether you are a first time filmmaker with a vision or an accomplished student filmmaker looking to hone your skills, this workshop will give you the inside scoop on how to make a movie that will leave people saying "Wow, I cannot believe that movie was made by a high school kid." By the way, we know you are not a kid, but they will say it anyway.

You also get the added bonus of working closely with our Teen Actors Workshop that runs at the same time as our filmmaking workshop. One of the biggest problems a teen filmmaker can have is finding good actors. Take a look at some of the topics we will be covering. Each session will be limited to 15 participants. Hollywood’s waiting...

"Both yourself, Troy, Sam & Peter did an incredible job with the students - the end results were amazing and everyone should be very proud of themselves. I know Chloe had a blast and she is really sad to see it all come to an end - roll on next to year! As you said last night, at least they all have the 'know-how' to maybe experiment on their own - let's hope they take advantage of their new found talents!"
