The perfect camp for the future filmmaker! Students will create two short films over the course of the week. You’ll be introduced to the filmmaking process through an introductory artist’s statement film, then add further production value in creating video poem shorts. You’ll learn how to develop and storyboard a film idea, direct and shoot a production with professional gear, and edit with Adobe Premiere Pro CC on iMacs. No previous experience necessary.

Note: there is a lunch break (lunch is not provided).

Tuition: $530
