5-Day Film Writing Camp

Does your son and daughter love telling stories? Do they have the itch to write a story of their own? Do they want to put those ideas on the screen? Our 5-day Summer Intensive Writing class will help them take a giant leap forward, as they learn how to:

•  Find the right idea to develop
• Shape that idea into a short story
• Shape the short story into a script
• Get that script ready to film
