Don't just play video games all summer. Build your own, make new friends and have the time of your life!

Whether you're experienced or an absolute beginner, you'll learn industry-standard software from professionals and students (at the college upper class and graduate levels). More importantly, you'll develop the problem solving skills vital to success in college.

During our intensive three-week program, you will explore all facets of film production — including scriptwriting, scouting locations in historic Philadelphia, directing, and post-production for your own film.
 
You’ll start with a hands-on introduction to filmmaking, covering all the creative and technical demands of digital story-telling. Next you’ll apply your classroom knowledge as you cultivate your voice and style as a filmmaker and use professional video equipment to develop and produce your short film. The program will conclude in an exciting film festival to showcase your work.
