Actors will be directed and coached, guided in technique, improvisation exercises, and gain an understanding of building character, emotions, and performance on camera.

For our young creatives who love both sides of the camera, this one of a kind experience. As part of the digital revolution that we are immersed in, this class will cultivate kids in the process of becoming their own filmmaker and encourage a focus on CREATING rather than consuming media. Students will be introduced or re-acquainted with basic concepts of on-screen acting and the craft of telling stories through video. Each filmmaker will be guided in writing, filming, and starring in a 3-5 minute silent short film. Films will be screened at our studio on showcase premiere day in a mini film festival style with awards! Family and friends will be able to support as crew or cast and attend the premiere. Access to a camera, phone or ipad will be required for recording scenes both in and outside of class. Apps or programs for editing are encouraged but the option to add a post production package will be available for an additional fee. This package will provide editing of a final cut for the student’s project.* Students will be required to have their own editing done if the package option is not selected.
