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!
