At Movie Makers, teens and kids don’t just learn about filmmaking — they make an actual movie from start to finish in one action-packed week.
Each camp begins with a theme that gets ideas flowing. From there, campers work together to develop a story, shape characters, write scenes, and decide how the movie will look and feel. Along the way, they step into every part of the process: writing, acting, directing, running the camera. Even sets, costumes and makeup.
Campers use modern digital video equipment and get a practical introduction to how movies are actually made — learning camera work, framing, and filming techniques by doing the work themselves.
Everyone spends time both in front of and behind the camera, with opportunities to lean into the parts of filmmaking they enjoy most. Some campers gravitate toward acting. Others find they love directing, camera work, or working behind the scenes.
By the end of the week, the group has completed a finished movie they can be proud of.
At the end of summer, we celebrate with an outdoor premiere party on a giant screen. Friends and family are invited to watch the movie on our giant screen under the stars — a true film-festival moment. Campers also receive a downloadable copy of the movie to keep and share.
Each week-long camp is $500 and includes the full camp experience, the premiere party, and a digital copy of the movie.
