At the NYFA Filmmaking Summer Camp: Level I, students learn every stage of the filmmaking process, from developing an idea to editing a final movie. The camp emphasizes the “learning by doing” philosophy, allowing kids to direct, shoot, and edit their own projects with professional guidance. Over the course of the session, participants explore scriptwriting, camera operation, production planning, and post-production editing. Campers use professional digital cameras and editing software to create original short films that reflect their creative vision. Each day combines classroom instruction with practical exercises, providing an engaging balance between theory and practice.
Small group sizes ensure individualized attention, encouraging teamwork and collaboration. The program fosters not only technical filmmaking skills but also communication, critical thinking, and storytelling abilities. By the final week, students screen their completed films in a celebratory showcase with peers and instructors. NYFA’s Los Angeles campus offers an inspiring backdrop — located in the heart of the film and entertainment industry. The camp experience helps young filmmakers gain confidence, develop their artistic voice, and experience what it’s like to bring a story to life on screen.
