In-Person Filmmaking Courses:

Make a Film in a Day - full day course for ages 8-10 & 11-12 (location Chelsea, London)
Participants on Make a Film in a Day courses are given an overview of the whole filmmaking process from EUREKA!, through to ACTION! to IT’S A WRAP! Working in teams, these young filmmakers work against the clock to plan, storyboard, shoot, act and edit their film (complete with sound effects and music)… and by the end of the day their first movie is complete!

Four Day Film School (10-13 and 14-17yo) - £590 per household group

Under the tuition of our award-winning filmmakers, students on the Four Day Film School embark on a whistle-stop tour of film’s origins and history: they learn screen acting, writing, editing, camerawork and even fight choreography – before they get out there and do it for themselves. Everyone has a chance to develop his or her own role and no one escapes without saying “ACTION!”

This course will be run in line with the government guidelines at the time with social distancing in place as well as regular hand washing and sanitation of equipment. If national or local lockdowns mean we are unable to run the course in-person then it will be transferred to be run online and the structure will stay the same.
