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.
For ages 9 - 13, we will be offering two sessions: Monday, June 28 - Friday June 25 (no camp Friday, June 18) and Monday, July 26 - Friday, August 6
“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!”
