This is the perfect time to spend a part of your summer in a creative camp that will develop your skills and improve our knowledge when it comes to the film. A perfect opportunity for all film enthusiasts!

Understanding the need for a better knowledge of film making we created our summer film camp, which is meant for teenagers at the age between 11 and 17. It lasts from July 13-24’ 2020

The goal of this camp is to introduce the participants to the art of film making throughout an interesting explanation of the film making process. This is a way to satisfy the need for film production where the concept was created to teach young filmmakers, how to produce a Short Film Project.  The camp will cover all the elements of a successful film making including the processes of pre-production, storyboarding, filming techniques and post-production editing with the usage the most essential elements such as music and sound effects for a better film experience. At the end of the camp, the participants will be able to create their own short film which will be filmed in the fall in September 2020.

This camp will be held online by award-winning filmmakers, so the participants can enjoy this interactive and live presentation without ever having to leave their homes. There will also be collaboration from other young filmmakers across the world during the pre- production/production of their projects.
