OFF Academy 2026 | Filmmaking for 7th–12th Grade Students
Does your student love movies, storytelling, or creating things from scratch? OFF Academy is a two-day, hands-on filmmaking experience where students work with professional film mentors to create a short film from start to finish.
Over two high-energy days, participants will:
• Collaborate as a film crew and bring an original idea to life
• Explore crew roles like directing, acting, cinematography, editing, sound, lighting, and more
• Learn set etiquette, camera gear, lighting, sound, and post-production
• Gain confidence, teamwork skills, and real-world creative experience
No prior filmmaking experience is required — just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to participate.
• March 12–13, 2026 (Thursday & Friday)
• 8:30 AM–2:30 PM
• $50
• Open to 7th–12th grade students
Students will complete editing the following week, and all finished films will be screened at a later date.
