Description: Do you love acting? Do you dream of one day seeing yourself on the big screen?

Acting in front of a camera, lights, and crew is both fun and challenging and our Acting for Film class can teach you what it's all about.

Using a variety of acting exercises and games, the students improve their craft and gain confidence.

Each week, students are given a new scene to learn and perform. Performances are filmed so the actors learn how to work with a camera, lights, and sound.

Additionally, we focus on the many skills unique to film acting: knowing your frame, your eye-line, your mark, and even tricks for making each take count.

Finally, during the last class, friends and family are welcome to attend as we watch a select group of our best performances.

Filmmaking for Kids

Description: Working together, the kids learn all about filmmaking by making films.

We start with screenwriting - the art of making up and telling a good story. Children are natural storytellers and we help them shape their stories into short films.

Next, we move on to the equipment, where each child gets a chance to be in front of and behind the camera as we shoot: short movies, documentaries, music videos, and even special effects with green screen.

Finally, at the end of the last class, we encourage friends and family to come and see the films we have created.
