In this 4-week after-school program, participants will learn all the bits and pieces it takes to create their own content, whether it be a documentary or a creative short film. Participants will learn how to effectively tell a story and how to plan the production of a film. Participants will also get the chance to experiment with other mediums such as 3D modeling, stop motion animation, foley, and more! At the end of the program, campers will have at least one project to share with family and friends, along with a whole lot of fun skills they can use in their personal and academic pursuits.
