Chicago Filmmakers presents the 2012 Digital Moviemaking Summer Camps for Youth. These comprehensive camps will cover all aspects of digital moviemaking, from initial concept to finished film. Campers will enjoy bringing their imaginations to the screen as they learn about lighting, sound, storyboarding, shot composition, and editing. They will work collaboratively on group projects and each student will receive a copy on DVD at the end of the camp. Films made in previous camps have gone on to show at film festivals and win awards, including the Kids for Kids Festival in Naples, Italy, Girls in the Directors Chair Festival, the Future Filmmakers Festival, and Raw Voices at Columbia College.
