Young Filmmakers

By MBLLCTherapy

Calling all 5th and 6th Graders!

Young Filmmakers immerses your child in the world of ﬁlmmaking. Over the course of the school year, your child will learn how to make a ﬁlm from start to ﬁnish. They will have the chance to experience every role in the ﬁlmmaking process, from screenwriter to director to video and sound editor. Young Filmmakers is a fun and engaging program that will not only teach your child how a ﬁlm is made, but will also help them develop technical, interpersonal and leadership skills. The program will end with a red-carpet premiere! Space is limited so sign up today!
