The White Mountain Cinema Camp is a two-week filmmaking intensive for students ages 14–18. Using many of the standards of a professional production crew, students will create a group short film from script to screen. Throughout the process, students will learn how to build a story, use tools in pre-production, and work with professional equipment and standard editing practices to create a polished product as seen on sets of a professional film. The final film will be premiered in a world premiere screening at The Colonial Theatre followed by a Q & A with the students on stage discussing their process and experience. See the camp experience!

Enrollment information for the 2025 White Mountain Cinema Camp will be available soon.

The 2024 White Mountain Cinema Camp is sponsored by William Oppenheimer, Nancy & Julian Czarny, Rek’-lis Brewing, and a grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Arts Venture Fund for NNHF & North Country Youth Arts and Culture Fund.
