White Mountain Cinema Camp
EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF FILMMAKING!
We are now accepting applications for the 2025 White Mountain Cinema Camp!
The White Mountain Cinema Camp is an immersive, two-week filmmaking intensive designed for students ages 14–18. Working as a collaborative production crew, participants will bring an original short film to life—just like the pros.
Guided by experienced filmmaker, Alex Shea, and acting coach, Pyper Williams, students will develop their storytelling and acting skills, explore the fundamentals of screenwriting, and gain hands-on experience with professional-grade cameras, sound equipment, and editing software. From pre-production planning to on-set directing and post-production polishing, students will gain real-world insight into the art and craft of filmmaking.
The program culminates in a world premiere screening at The Colonial Theatre, where students will debut their film on the big screen. Afterward, they’ll take center stage for a Q&A session, sharing their creative journey with family, friends, and the community.
Applications are open now for Summer, 2025 with invitations for rolling registration as students are accepted. Class size is limited to 15 students on a first-come, first-served basis. Lunch is included each day at camp. Tuition is $75. Scholarships are available.
📅 Dates: July 28–31 (10 AM–3 PM) & August 4–7 (10 AM–4 PM)
🍿 Premiere Screening: Sunday, August 10 at The Colonial Theatre
📍 Location: The Colonial Theatre, Bethlehem, NH
