In the Full Throttle Film Camp, teens explore the full action-packed experience of movie making from their own unique perspective, and will delve into the many aspects of the craft: story development, preproduction, cinematography, sound, acting, editing, etc.
Filmmakers will be split into groups. Each group will develop a short 3 minute film and take turn as cast and crew. Through the full collaborative process of filmmaking, the filmmakers will develop new skills and a greater understanding of filmmaking. By the end of the full throttle film experience, the filmmakers will have accomplished creating movies together which they can share with friends and family.
