What is the KidsEye Workshop?

 

The Flickers' KidsEye Filmmaking Workshop for Summer 2022 will be a collaboration with The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA), and the Rhode Island Film and Television Office, offers a unique opportunity for college, high school and middle school students to learn the ins and outs of film production. This year, based on demand, it will be a virtual event.

 

Students will work with our team of instructors to write, shoot and edit a short film that will then be showcased as part of the annual Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) in August.

 

At the conclusion of the 5-day program, students will have completed several short films that they will be able to use as a portfolio piece when looking to further their film education or search for roles within the creative industry.

 

The design of this workshop is to introduce students to the possibilities of filmmaking as a form of creative expression using the resources already available to them. There is no better time than now to spark a lifelong passion in filmmaking.

 

1. INTRODUCTORY - Geared for ages 8-12.

 

2. ADVANCED - Geared for ages 13-17.

 

3. COLLEGE - Geared for ages 18-21 (and beyond)

 

THE FINE PRINT:

Tuition is a reduced rate of $100 and must be paid in full with this application. Should you choose to withdraw your reservation, a deposit of $50 will be retained, and you will be refunded the balance up until two weeks prior to the camp after which there there will be no refunds.
