Programme Overview                       Link: Country Overview
 
Step by step, you will learn the fundamentals of feature film making - screen writing, storyboarding, shooting and editing - and create your own personal, high-quality finished project to show to the entire camp and your family and friends back home!

Film Director Edward McDougal has taught filmmaking and screenwriting at Regent and Taylor Universities and has conducted feature film workshops in Hungary, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Russia, Switzerland and the Ukraine. He has personally directed and produced widely distributed feature films including "The Prodigy," "Gold Through the Fire," and "Geronimo" which have won numerous international awards and are in distribution through Blockbuster Video and more than 20 countries worldwide. Edward has a wealth of experience teaching professional film skills to people of all ability levels and is a fun person to be around. Regardless of your previous film knowledge and experience, Edward and his staff will break the exciting and challenging aspects of movie-making into simple steps. Both uninitiated and advanced film students can quickly grasp Edward's instructions and put to good use in their projects.

 
Traditionally, mornings and some times during the afternoons and evenings, you will benefit from a complete crash course in the fundamentals of movie making, at the same time working on your personal film project. Each camper is a member of a small group who serve as crew for each other's projects. Using the group to help brainstorm and offer feedback, each camper's personal project proceeds through carefully planned steps from initial concept to burned DVD. Camper-directors will use eager campers and staff from the rest of the camp as their actors and extras and can choose from a spectacular array of camp activities and scenic locations to use in their movies.
 
The film camp is known for its enthusiasm and creativity. Don't be surprised if you leave camp amazed at what you accomplish with your finished film projects!
