Whether you have a camera at home and make films everyday or if you just see images in your head and have the soundtrack nailed, we can take you one step further in your cinematic pursuits.

Our award-winning film program gives you hands-on instruction from mentors who are working in the field and believe everyone has a unique story to tell. Document the community you live in or make up one of your own in our narrative film workshops. Either way, you’ll get to see your dream on the big screen.

Our core classes are intended for ages 13 – 19 and Saturday SPARK classes are best for ages 7 – 12.  Please see our class schedules for exact age breakdown by class.
