Production Camp will immerse participants in the creative and exciting world of filmmaking, covering the filmmaking process from concept to finished film. Topics and activities include story development, scriptwriting, pre-production, production and post-production. Skills such as directing, videography and editing with iMovie will be taught. Students will collaborate in teams to write, shoot and edit short films for their final projects.

Both camps will be held Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to noon.
