This summer, Bay Area teens are learning what it takes to make a movie. The SFFilm Youth Filmmakers Camp is well underway. Teens between 14 and 18 years old are spending their last few weeks of summer in the classroom, taking a deep dive into the filmmaking process. SFFilm has worked to serve the youth in different ways over the last 30 years, and this camp is one of them. Through lectures and group work, the students will pitch short film ideas, and experience all roles on a film set to make their movies come to life.
