Lights, Camera, Action — The Film Production Summer Program is Here
Is your child bursting with creativity and tech-savviness? In this 5-day summer program, we take Grade 4 & 5 students on a journey from simple storytelling to producing their very own scene — learning camera, lighting, sound, and editing alongside a small group of curious peers.
— Program Introduction
From concept to creation, in one week.
Does your child love making videos and exploring the behind-the-scenes magic of film? In this 5-day summer program, we’ll take your child on a journey from simple storytelling to producing their very own project. They’ll learn the basics of filmmaking, how to use a professional camera, editing, and more — all while working on a group project they can proudly share with family and friends.
Our program is designed for young, curious minds, and every session is packed with fun, hands-on activities. Students will get to experience every aspect of film production, from concept to creation — behind the camera, in front of the screen, or helping with editing. By the end of the week, they’ll have created a professional movie scene to share with their family and friends.
