Join us on Saturday, April 5th, 2013 from 9am to 2pm for Amica Insurance Kids' Day!
Kids' Day at the Phoenix Film Festival is a great way for kids of all ages to come out and experience the festival. They can select from a series of hands-on activity stations focusing on different aspects of film production and geared to various age and ability levels. Stations are age-appropriate and run the full gamut of the filmmaking process. And best yet, it's FREE! Check out just some of the cool things to do:
- Walk the red carpet and get your paparazzi photo taken from our friends at Bookmans.
- Miss Katie from the Musical Instrument Museum will help kids explore different sounds as they create a musical soundtrack to a fun film.
- Mr. Jesse from the Phoenix Public Library is back to read stories, talk about books that are made into movies and have fun with the littler festival fans.
- Write the next best-selling screenplay "Mad Lib" style.
- Test out your acting chops against a green screen.
