Summer in a Snapshot!
Join us this summer for an unforgettable experience! From film camps, behind-the scene classes, editing, to singing and musicals and even role playing.

We’ll be working collaboratively to create films you can be proud of, while developing an understanding of directing, writing, editing, and camera techniques. Never held a camera?

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
