Chicago Filmmakers’ popular Filmmaking Summer Camp is back! Hands-on and collaborative, this all-encompassing camp gives budding filmmakers a crash-course in filmmaking that teaches a wide range of skills including creating shot-lists, scouting locations, setting up camera angles, using green screen, post-production editing, and sound design. We currently offer Filmmaking for Youth (ages 9-13) and Filmmaking for Teens (ages 13-17).
For ages 9 - 13, we will be offering two sessions: Monday - Friday, June 17 - June 28 & Monday-Friday, July 15 - July 26
For ages 13-17, we will be offering two sessions: Monday - Friday, July 1 - July 12 & Monday-Friday, July 29 - August 9
Important Note: Proof of vaccination is currently required to participate in classes on-site at Chicago Filmmakers. A health certification form with a digital copy (photo, scan, etc.) of your dated vaccination card must be submitted after registering. Students must be scheduled to receive the second vaccination shot at least two weeks prior to the class start date.
Most camp activities and film shooting will take place outdoors. Indoor editing will take place in Chicago Filmmakers' theatre for maximum social distance spacing.
“Every day I picked up my son and his friend, they had nothing but exciting stories to share about their day. We loved that there was a final project that they could share with family and friends and be proud of. Also, my son said he “felt like he was at home” in the space and that it was very comfortable. I think the smaller camp size really led itself to learning more and feeling like he got a lot of hands-on time. Thank you!”
