Advanced Filmmaker Experience (9th-12th Grade)

With half a dozen films currently circulating in major film festivals, winning a top prize at the All American High School Film Festival, this immersive and innovative class is the quintessential program for serious high-school students looking to take the plunge into all aspects of filmmaking and acting for the camera! With the help of our professional filmmakers, students will work together to create their very own short films, while also having the opportunity to act in them! Films created in this class will be considered for submission to major film festivals. This class culminates in a private film screening of all the work the students have created.

This class is by interview only. Must have some occasional weekend availability for shoots.

This class will be held at our location on 72nd & Madison.

Please note this class is non-refundable.

All film classes will require a minor talent release to be signed in order to participate in class projects.
