INTENSIVE FILMMAKING PROGRAM
Filmmakers Ink offers a University film school experience in a summer camp setting. The Filmmakers Ink programs offer courses that train young filmmakers at three different levels and are designed to grow with their expanding knowledge of filmmaking. Guided by our staff of film professionals, our young filmmakers learn by doing as they develop the key creative and technical skills required for exceptional filmmaking.
INTENSIVE 1
This Filmmakers Ink program is for those that have an interest in and/or passion for film, and would like to learn how to consistently make good movies. Professional filmmakers will help each young filmmaker experience the moviemaking process from script writing through pre-production and filming. Everyone will develop their scripts, use professional filmmaking equipment, and work in each of the main crew positions, including Director, 1st AD (Assistant Director), DP (Director of Photography), Gaffer (lighting) and Sound, while making movies together with Actors from our Acting for Film program."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.
