The Backyard Film Project

Training the next generation of filmmakers & fostering young creativity.

What is the Backyard Film Project?

This project is a week-long summer day-camp/learning intensive for teenage filmmakers and young storytellers. 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.
