Film Kids uses hands-on, student-driven filmmaking to encourage young people’s creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills.
Values
Film Kids members let their voices be heard in a special balance of collaboration and individual expression. Our film projects challenge members to make decisions as a group, resolve creative differences, and respect the ideas of others. They grow as public speakers, technical thinkers, and contributors to their own personal growth and the society around them. Children feel success by persisting in challenging projects and they have fun doing it!
Curriculum
Watch as your child develops a story, pitches ideas, calls camera shots, steals the scene as an actor, and directs others to shine. Our original curriculum teaches students digital filmmaking basics through fun activity-based projects centered around acting and film. Instructors from professional film backgrounds guide young filmmakers in various genres, where they are encouraged to express themselves in front of and behind the camera. Our staff models positive social behavior and encourages patience, planning, and cooperation as a way to cultivate your child’s creative potential.
Film Kids partners with various non-profits:
