WORKSHOP GOALS
The Filmmaking Camp was designed to serve the needs of different types of students.
For students contemplating a longer-term education in filmmaking or a career in the entertainment industry, it is an excellent introduction. This one-week camp gives students an understanding of the requirements and rigors of filmmaking, as well as the exhilaration of seeing a project through completion.

For others, the 1-Week Filmmaking Camp is an escape vacation — an opportunity to have fun doing something completely different. Some students are simply interested in learning about the way a movie is made.
