What You’ll Learn
The benefits of learning to make films are huge! Film-making is a creative and energetic way to develop communication and teamwork skills, learn to be a leader, hone technical skills and make something really cool! We cover all the basics: camera operation, developing ideas for screen, video editing, sound design for film, and we have plenty of fun in the process! We provide the equipment, you provide the ideas.
