Filmmaking is a powerful vehicle for sharing the stories we want to tell. Learn the skills you need to express your point of view through the creation of short films.

Then, working in groups, students will storyboard, script, film and edit their own short films. Group members will switch roles to gain exposure to various facets of filmmaking.
