PROJECT FILM FESTIVAL

Calling All Returning Middle School and High School Students!

Join Us for Project Film Festival (PFF) - An immersive two-part workshop where we will script, shoot and edit an original short film to be submitted to the film festival circuit. This is an opportunity to grow as an artist and be a part of a new creative experience! Workshops will feature Industry Professionals in Scriptwriting, Cinematography and Acting for Film. All work done within the workshops culminate in a week long professional short film shoot in the summer.

The workshop runs from December 13th - February 03 and will resume July 07 - 11 for the Summer Film Shoot.

Total program cost (inclusive of Summer shoot) is $400 and a $50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot (linked below)
