Filmmakers-Ink.com After School and Summer Filmmaking Programs

Filmmakers Ink offers a university film program experience in a camp setting. The Filmmakers Ink Darien Summer Film Academy gives its young filmmakers the opportunity to explore the filmmaking creative process, including script writing, pre-production, acting and producing short films, and provides them with the skill and confidence to be a part of the growing community of young filmmakers in Connecticut.

Filmmakers Ink has set itself apart from other film camps with their attention to storytelling through digital media. Filmmakers Ink programs are designed to give students solid life-long tools with which to access their creative ideas.

"Our son has been interested in making movies since the age of 2, and said it best, "This was better than my wildest dreams!" Thank you for this opportunity! He's already got his friends working on a new movie." - Jennifer, parent.

Join us this summer and find your voice through film. Make movies, make friends, make an impact!

Our youngest filmmakers will develop a story and learn to use Special FX to film it. They will also learn camera basics and teamwork. These young movie-makers will write, shoot, edit and screen their movie for family and friends at their Premiere on the final day of film camp. Students are encouraged to bring their own video camera, digital tape, and tripod if they already own them. (5 days)

Intensive Filmmaking Program

Make a statement this summer by doing something truly exceptional - make a movie! Young filmmakers will gain knowledge in many aspects of filmmaking. With guidance from the professional filmmakers that make up the Filmmakers Ink staff, young filmmakers will work together as a team to produce films as Actors, Directors, Camera, Lights and Sound. From script development to creating lighting design and shot lists, the process of making your film will build confidence, hone your ability to work as a member of a team and leave you with a finished film to add to your portfolio.
