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.
