ARTS COURSES
(Rising Grades 9-12)
Intro to Filmmaking
May 30-June 9, 12 – 4 p.m.
Maximum enrollment of 10
This crash course in the art of filmmaking is taught by Eric Stockman, founder of Storysmith Station. In the first week students build a deeper understanding of the many factors that go into making a camera shot work and how it can help their storytelling. In the second week we create a mini "studio" that pitches ideas and then brings those ideas through every stage of production until they have completed a short film.
