The Theatre & Film Program at Saint Augustine’s College announces its ninth annual TEEN SUMMER FILM WORKSHOP. This hands-on workshop is open to teenagers, ages 13-18 years, who have a strong interest in learning filmmaking at a professional level. This is an intensive 9-day workshop, June 22-July 2, 2009, meeting every weekday, 9am-1pm. Students will have hands-on training on Canon digital cameras, shoot in their soundstage, and have an introduction to the non-linear editing systems. The campus is located in downtown Raleigh.

 

The fee is $300.00 for the 9-day workshop.

Students will have hands-on training in directing, acting for film, screenwriting, camera-work, sound, storyboarding, non-linear editing, and more. So that students can have one-on-one instruction, this workshop is limited to sixteen participants.
