Summer 2019 Film Camps

Day camps where kids learn how to make short films and online videos.

The Sarasota Film Festival, which for 21 years has taken thousands of local audience members on cinematic journeys, is now offering film and social media “influencer” camps for students 7-18 as well as workshops for adults (starting in Fall 2019). Industry professionals with years of experience working on Hollywood films and international commercials teach the ins and outs of creating amazing videos and films.

Filmmakers learn in a fun, conservatory model where each student gets to experience different film-related professions, being a screenwriter, director, producer, production designer, editor, cinematographer, and actor. The students will also truly understand the value of teamwork and collaboration.

The finished projects have public screenings for family and friends at the end of each week of classes.
