This program introduces participants to the exciting process of creating a short film. Teachers have included Columbia University instructors and directors and technicians who’ve worked on major Hollywood productions, including projects with George Lucas and Ray Liotta. Hollywood insiders teach students how to write a short screenplay and draw storyboards. Participants also learn basic camera moves and improve their skills with ‘on location’ shooting.

After the shoot, students help edit and add effects to their film and then present their work to other students in a movie showcase. Students also experience a behind-the-scenes look at the film industry with visits to major movie studios and other fascinating sites related to the entertainment business.

The Marymount Cinema Camp is enhanced with 3.5 hours of daily ESL instruction taught by engaging instructors. Or substitute a fascinating class in film history taught by an expert in the subject.

Finally, students will enjoy a tour of Hollywood and may even see a movie star at the famous Hollywood & Highland complex—home of the Academy Awards!
