The New York Film Academy is delighted to offer summer day camp programs for youth (ages 10-13) to learn filmmaking or acting for film. The creative initiative through Filmmaking Camp challenges young people to tell a story with moving images. Students begin on day one working with digital cameras and learning the fundamentals of directing films. Hands-on classes in directing, writing, editing, cinematography, and production cover the creative and technical demands of telling a story with moving images.
Additionally, they would hold Weekend Filmmaking and Acting for Youth Camp Programs during the school year that meet for twelve consecutive Saturdays for three to four hours each, which would need additional time for rehearsals and productions.
The Two-Week Filmmaking Camp and Acting for Film Summer Camp meet Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with a one-hour lunch break for two consecutive weeks. Students may also choose to enroll only in the first week of the Two-Week Camp Program.
Both our Kids Weekend Programs and Two-Week Summer Camps will have basic and intermediate levels that would be offered at their schools in New York City and at Los Angeles, CA.
