Summer 2022 schedule will be coming soon 

 Project Title: Film Club

Project Goal: Students will have fun discussing the assigned films, expressing their thoughts and critiques creatively in our Film Club. They will explore how to think and write analytically about how particular elements of the films interact and the effects of techniques unique to the medium. Students will also produce a storyboard and script for a short film by the end of the camp. Their final projects will draw on past conversations and films, and these projects will be critiqued by their classmates.
Area: Film Analysis, Group Discussion, Creative Writing

Grade Groups: 
Grades 7-12
