Class Experience
Cinematic Filmmaking (Advanced Film Camp)
Great for older students!
Our Advanced camps are challenging and rewarding opportunities for aspiring filmmakers to work on projects that can be submitted for scholarships, grant opportunities, film festivals, education applications and digital portfolios as proof of work. Students gain front line production experience and on set protocol training, in a safe and supportive learning environment. Advanced Camp alumni are invited to join our Teen Filmmaker Lab in 2025 at no cost and are also eligible for future internships and production work.
Step into the world of filmmaking with our one-week Cinematic Filmmaking Camp – tailor-made for older students! Dive deep into the art and craft of cinematic storytelling as you bring a short film to life, starting from the screenplay and culminating in the final edit. Armed with professional Canon C100 cinema cameras, grip equipment, lighting tools, and cutting-edge editing software, students will experience hands-on, industry-standard filmmaking.
Our mission is to support the emerging voices of aspiring filmmakers here in the Pacific NW. For more information about this special program, contact us here.
