Two Week Writing and Production Camp Series – 2025

$650.00 – $1,200.00

The camps listed below are Trilith Institute’s traditional filmmaking summer camps. During each of these two-week experiences, students will collaborate with one another to develop screenplays, learn about the different roles and responsibilities of a film crew, and take their original scripts through the filming process.

The first two camps, “Dramatic Writing and Art Production” and “Dramatic Writing and Tech Production” will work together to develop two original scripts. Campers more interested in art department roles should sign up for “Dramatic Writing and Art Production,” and if you want to delve deep into how to operate technical filmmaking equipment, you should sign up for “Dramatic Writing and Tech Production.”

Interested in the artistic and technical sides of filmmaking and don’t want to choose one? No problem! Sign up for the “Comedic Writing and Production” camp, in which all campers will have the opportunity to get hands-on practice for all roles on set, learning a little bit of everything rather than deep-diving into a particular area of interest. The footage from all of these camps will be edited by campers in one of our Post-Production Camps later in the summer.

All completed films will be presented at the Script to Screen Film Festival at the end of the summer.

This camp is designed for future sound engineers, camera operators, and grip and electric crew. Perfect for those passionate about the craft of creating cinematic magic, this hands-on experience will teach you the skills to operate equipment, solve on-set challenges, and enhance visual storytelling. Campers will learn camera, sound, grip, electric, and how to prep a script for production. After week one, this group splits in two and joins their production team (half art camp, half tech camp) to begin production on the scripts they wrote. These scripts will be edited by our post-production camp the following week and will premiere at our end of camp film festival.
