CHECK OUT OUR 2025 FILMMAKING SUMMER CAMPS!

Welcome to Summer Camp!

Whether a beginning filmmaker or a seasoned pro, current junior high or high school students between the ages of 13 and 18 can learn how to make a film and take their filmmaking skills to the next level.

While each camp is different, we typically allow students to attend only one filmmaking camp session per year. Filmmaking 101 students may not sign up for Advanced Filmmaking in the same year.

Please note, because of high demand we will not be able to take any students under the age of 13.

These camps are full of information and each day builds on the other. If you are considering registering, please make sure your camper will be able to attend the entire camp and not miss days due to pre-existing obligations/scheduling conflicts.

Spots are not guaranteed reserved until camp is paid in full.

Screenings of all the completed camp films will take place on August 7th at the Harkins Scottsdale 101 Theatre. More information on this screening to come.

We hope to see you at camp this summer!

ADVANCED FILMMAKING

dates:
jULY 7 - 18 (WEEKDAYS MON-FRI)

time:
9:00AM - 2:00PM

INSTRUCTORS: tba

price: $350

The two week-long Advanced Filmmaking Camp takes students (ages 15-18) even deeper into filmmaking techniques in order to create their own original short film. Through hands-on learning, students will actively participate in the technical elements of digital filmmaking from pre- to post-production.

Each student interested in attending the Advanced Filmmaking Camp will prepare an artist’s statement (no longer than one page) describing their past experience with creating video projects and what they hope to gain from the camp. Students not selected for this advanced program will have the option to attend one of our Filmmaking 101 camps.

Each selected student will come to camp prepared with a script between 4-6 pages long (formatted as a screenplay). On day one, we will review all submitted scripts, go through a feedback process, and choose one script to complete as a class.
