Summer Camps

2024 Script to Screen Summer Camp

June 10, 2024 - July 19, 2024

$400.00 – $850.00

Grades 6-12
Campers will work with film industry expert instructors who will teach them the basics of working with filmmaking equipment. The campers will come together to form production teams, taking on various roles on set during the production of two original short films, which were written by students in our Weekend Writers Workshop. This footage will be edited by campers in the Post-Production Camp the following week, and the completed films will be premiered at the Script to Screen Film Festival.

Grades 6-12 Campers will work with expert film editors to learn the basics of post-production and non-linear film editing. Campers will learn through practical application, taking the footage recorded in the previous Two-Week Production Camp and cutting it together into a completed short film that will be premiered at the Script to Screen Film Festival.

Grades 6-12 Campers will work with expert screenwriters, explore and discuss the qualities of compelling storytelling, and collaborate with their peers to develop original short screenplays. These scripts will be produced by campers in the Advanced Production Camp, and edited by campers in the July Post-Production camp. Final projects will premiere at the Script to Screen Film Festival.

Grades 9-12 Campers will work with film industry expert instructors and collaborate with their peers, forming production teams and taking on various roles on set during the production of two original short films, which were written by students in the previous Screenwriting Camp. This footage will be edited by campers in the Post-Production Camp the following week, and the completed films will be premiered at the Script to Screen Film Festival.

Grades 9-12 Campers will work with expert screenwriters as they explore and discuss the qualities of compelling storytelling. Participants may choose to develop their own original screenplay independently, or they may choose to collaborate with fellow campers to co-write a screenplay. Because the scripts written in this Advanced Screenwriting Camp will not be produced in a Script to Screen Production Camp, writers have more creative freedom to develop their stories in any way they choose. Campers will have the opportunity to have their scripts performed in a live table read by actors from the Alliance Theatre during the Script to Screen Film Festival.

We are excited to announce the 2024 Script to Screen Summer Camp Series!

Students grades 6-12 have the opportunity to write, produce, and edit original films under the guidance of industry experts.

All campers will be invited to the Script to Screen Film Festival on Saturday, July 20th, 2024.

Frequently Asked Questions

  •    Who can sign up for the Script to Screen Summer Camp Series?
    • We welcome any middle or high school student* interested in learning more about the film industry and working closely with peers on creative projects.
      *Our Advanced Production and Advanced Screenwriting camps are only open to high school students.
  • Are there any prerequisites for campers?
    • The only camp with a prerequisite is the Advanced Production Camp. Eligible students must have attended the 2023 Script to Screen Summer Camp OR have participated in AVTF or other film programs in their high schools.
  • What will campers create during the camps?
    • Throughout the Script to Screen Summer Camp Series, campers will work together to produce 4 short films. Each Production Camp will be dedicated to principal photography for two of those short films. The Post-Production campers will cut the final versions of the films together. Campers in the Screenwriting Camp from June 24-28 will work together to write the two short films that will be produced in the Advanced Production Camp. We will not be producing the scripts written in the Advanced Screenwriting Camp, but that will allow for more creative freedom for the campers.
  • Will there be a chance to watch the films produced during the Script to Screen Summer Camp Series?
    • Yes! Each of the short films will be premiered at our inaugural Script to Screen Film Festival on Saturday, July 20. Campers from the Advanced Screenwriting Camp will also have the opportunity to have their scripts performed at a live table read with actors from the Alliance Theatre during the film festival. All campers and their families and friends are invited to attend. More details to come.
  • Who will lead camp activities?

  • Can I sign up for multiple camps? Are there discounted rates for signing up for multiple camps?
    • Absolutely! You can create a summer camp experience perfectly tailored to your film industry interests. A discount will be applied at checkout when you add multiple camps to your shopping cart. Keep in mind that the post-production and screenwriting camps occur simultaneously, but each will be offered twice in the Script to Screen Summer Camp Series, so you can sign up for screenwriting in June and post-production in July, or vice versa.
  • Will the content produced in the camp be appropriate for my child?
    • We will not produce anything that exceeds PG-13 ratings.
  • Will there be acting opportunities for campers?
    • There may be some acting workshops during down-time between camp activities, but the acting roles will be filled by members of the Alliance Theatre’s Teen Ensemble. If you’re interested in an acting camp, the Alliance Theatre will be running a number of camps alongside the Script to Screen Summer Camp Series.
