This remarkable journey spans scriptwriting, production, and post-production, allowing each camper to explore every facet of film creation. Camps are strategically scheduled so that participants can engage in scriptwriting in June and dive into post-production in July or any combination that fits their interests and schedule.

Anticipating the questions of eager participants and their guardians, the camp series is designed to welcome any middle or high school student with a flair for film. It provides clear pathways for those entirely new to the field and more advanced learners with previous experience. While the Advanced Production and Advanced Screenwriting camps require some foundational knowledge, there are no prerequisites for most of the camp offerings.
