FALL YOUTH & TEEN: Hands-On Moviemaking II (Grades 6 - 8)
Over four exciting weekends, students in Grades 6–8 will team up to create original short films while exploring fun themes through the art of visual storytelling. Working with peers from different districts, they’ll build lasting connections and strengthen valuable skills like communication and creative problem-solving. The program wraps with special invitations to a red-carpet-style December screening event where the final projects will premiere for friends, family, and fans. All equipment, resources and snacks are provided by The Umbrella. Note: Students should bring lunch from home.
