2025 Young Filmmakers Bootcamp
Our Teen Filmmaker Bootcamp is a summer intensive for young creatives interested in becoming storytellers. Our students bring their stories to our two weeks camp, pitch their ideas and work collaboratively to choose a script to film. During our two week camp they will be mentored by professions to prep, shoot and post their film. This is a hands on camp and they will rotate through all the jobs and learn how a film set runs.
Each day begins with check in at 8:45 am and ends with pick up at 5pm. We take a 45 minute lunch break, they will need to bring a packed lunch.
