The Young Filmmakers Workshop provides a hands-on, intensive
environment where young people create the world of film
and build basic to
advanced-level skills under the guidance of working professionals. These workshops
can jump-start careers
and provide portfolio-quality work for students wishing
to pursue filmmaking, directing, visual design,
or acting professions. Whether
here for professional reason or simply to have fun, students should be prepared
to live and
breathe the world of film in a total immersion workshop.
