DAI FILM CAMPS
We love sharing our knowledge in and passion for story and filmmaking and we want to help young people get started on their journey to becoming a filmmaker, writer, and video producer. We’ve developed curriculum for our film camps that helps a student become familiar with everything from telling a great and meaningful story to on-set film etiquette to using profession gear and tools of the trade. See below for what’s in the near future and always watch our calendar for weekend workshops and movie screenings.
2023 Summer Young Filmmaker Camp – June 19th to 23rd, 2023
