Program Overview

The Filmmaking Summer School offers intensive hands-on teaching in many aspects of professional film production.

The course is designed to cover the essential skills, basic knowledge, and industry insight needed to make films—knowledge that would normally require years of experience to acquire—and will equip participants with the confidence, knowledge, and skills to start a career in film or television and translate their own ideas and visions to the screen. The summer school is designed for people with little or no prior filmmaking experience, practicing filmmakers wanting to change career direction, media teachers, and students.

In 2027, we will present 3 course options. The 5-day Script to Screen (Jan 6 to 10, 2027), the 1-day Devising and Bringing a Script to Life - Writing, Directing & Acting (Jan 6, 2027), and the 4-day Cinematography -Make a Film (Jan 7 to 10, 2027).

Choose whichever course you want, or do it all (Script to Screen).
