White Mountain Cinema Camp
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!
