In this 8 week course participants will be hands-on with cameras, microphones, lights, storyboards, and as performers in front of the camera.

Our weekly after-school film and digital media workshops in Merewether are designed for young people to learn the skills of camera operation, digital storytelling, scripting, animation, editing, and on-camera performance.

In all our workshops, we support and empower young people to take ownership of the creative process. Participants will share their ideas, connect with others, and engage in digital experiments. Every participant stands to grow in confidence and creativity while having fun and making new friends.
