Youth Filmmakers Camp

SFFILM Education’s Youth Filmmaker Camp is an intensive summer program for teens ages 14–18 to learn from world-class film professionals in a fun, interactive, and collaborative environment. The program is broken up into two experience levels: the Starter Lab, which is for beginner students looking to learn the basics of filmmaking and enhance their storytelling skills; and the Advanced Lab, which is for students who want to build upon their existing skills. All students dive deep into the filmmaking process by learning about screenwriting, storyboarding, production, cinematography, sound, editing, and much more.

Starter Lab

July 11–22, 2022
9 am–4 pm

Advanced Lab

July 25–August 5, 2022
9 am–4 pm

Location
University of San Francisco

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you provide financial assistance for this camp?
    We want to make it possible for anyone to attend this camp. Both scholarships include the cost of the camp only. Scholarships will be awarded based on merit and availability of space in both the Beginner and Advanced Labs. Please complete the scholarship application linked here.
  • Do you require proof of vaccination to attend the camp?
    Your safety is our top priority. Masks must be worn when camp attendees are indoors. We are monitoring city public health guidelines and recommendations regarding COVID-19 and may update safety protocols as needed leading up to the screening. We require proof of “up-to-date” vaccination and a photo ID before camp starts.
    • For patrons 12-17 “up-to-date” means receiving a booster of Pfizer five months after completing the initial series of vaccines.
    • For patrons 17 and over “up-to-date” means receiving a booster five months after completing the initial doses of Pfizer or Moderna or two months after receiving the Johnson and Johnson dose.
    Photo ID not required for children ages 5 through 12.
