This two-week movie-making camp will take 12- through 18-year-old students through the process of brainstorming, writing, editing, directing, filming, and producing a short film. It will also allow them to cast their films from actors outside the camp, hence involving additional area youth. The finished, short movies will be screened at the Empire Art Center on the large screen in the auditorium, preceded by a Red-Carpet event so family, friends, and community members can view this unique locally produced film.

The dates of the camp are August 4 through August 7 and August 11 through August 14. Students will meet at the Empire at 1PM each day of the camp and participate in camp activities until 5PM each day. 

The Red-Carpet Movie Premiere will be held on Thursday, August 21, at 6PM. Each student will receive 4 complimentary tickets for the event to distribute to friends and family.

Tuition for the camp is $225/student with registration through July 21. After July 21, tuition is $260/student. 

Class size is limited to 10 students.
