Developed for teens aged 12-18 as the Young Filmmakers Workshop, now known as the Emerging Filmmakers Workshop. Each workshop provides opportunities for students to collaborate, refine their skills, and work with industry professionals all through the art of film. Led by professional filmmaker and educator, Scott Kinnamon, the workshops are designed to reach students at every stage of their storytelling development.
Each summer workshop has been created to engage students all day for two-weeks, with each specialized program designed to help foster the personal expression and power of young voices through the art of filmmaking.
Scholarships are available for students and families of need.
Talk to the Camera
For students younger than 12
To encourage cinematic engagement for all ages, the Emerging Filmmakers Workshop has partnered with Talk to the Camera who offers unique summer opportunities for students younger than 12 years old.
Talk to the Camera's mission is to Inspire youth to feel empowered while using the camera as a tool to create a positive learning community. Students develop a stronger sense of imagination, literacy, expression, communication and social communication skills and become adaptable, life-long learners.
