The Backyard Film Project
A FILMMAKING SUMMER CAMP designed to train the next generation of storytellers & foster young creativity.
What is the Backyard Film Project?
The Backyard Film Project is a week-long summer day-camp/learning intensive for teenage filmmakers and young storytellers ranging from rising freshman to high school seniors.
Over the course of five days, students will gain fast, hands on training in the art of making a movie - concluding with a finished project of their own. Through various workshops, discussions, and team-centered project instruction, participants will leave with a fresh perspective on the workflow and industry of filmmaking, right in their backyard.
Camp information for 2026 is currently TBA!
