KIDSEYE™ SUMMER FILMMAKING CAMP ENDS IN HIGH GEAR!

kidseye

Hard to believe, but our KidsEye™ Summer Filmmaking Camp ended its 11th season with a bang. KidsEye exposes young people to the basic elements of the filmmaking process, culminating in a premiere screening of their finished films. This year's camp provided an exceptional experience for attendees thanks to a seasoned, polished and highly energized staff. Our camp director, Jessica Wong, has been with KidsEye for 6 years and this year her creativity was at the forefront as our campers worked with the latest HD cameras and equipment, courtesy of our long-term sponsor, Rule|Boston Camera Rental (thank yiou John Rule!) The quality was absolutely amazing. The five-day summer camp was held at the beautiful campus of the University or Rhode Island in Kingston, Rhode Island. Thanks to our counselers, staff and of course to our wonderful campers.

I’ve always loved working with movies. I just want to be in show business when I grow up.”
-- James, a 13 year old filmmaker from Cranston.

they can come to hang out and do what they love most, making movies and stuff.”
-- Taylor, a 13 year old cinematographer from Harrisville

What is the KidsEye Camp?

KidsEye™ is a fun yet intensive five-day filmmaking camp for children ages 8-16 presented by the Rhode Island International Film Festival™. Over the course of the last few years, the camp has expanded, allowing children to learn more about what it takes to make a movie. We strive to incorporate as much hands-on learning as possible, therefore placing our focus primarily on production. KidsEye™ participants step into the roles of screenwriters, actors, directors and crew, and learn the importance of working as a team.

This summer the KidsEye™ camp will take place July 8-16, 2010. During the first two days participants will attend pre-production workshops on screenwriting, storyboarding, acting, directing and production design. Then participants will apply what they have learned in the production of their group’s short film. If time allows, participants will also have the opportunity to partake in the editing process.


Although many children have access to their own video cameras and home computer editing systems, KidsEye™ builds on that experience by allowing participants to interact with trained filmmakers and educators. The program is designed to enhance the knowledge, skills and understanding of all participants, regardless of their level of experience.


Registration is $400 which includes a copy of the finished films and the official KidsEye™ t-shirt. Plus, participants receive access passes to RIIFF main events, including the annual KidsEye™ International Film Festival and to the opening night of the Annual RI International Horror Festival in October. And wait, there's more! The film that the children shoot will be screened for family and friends at a specially arranged screening called the "Red Carpet Premiere."

 

KidsEye™ is a very hands-on program and every year the program reflects the input of the campers. The program reflects the knowledge and skills brought to the table by our participants and our instructors.


Look for details to be announced soon on our upcoming collaborations with other film festivals throughout the country as KidsEye™ branches out.

JessicaJessica Wong

Program Co-Director

Jessica is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, now pursuing a Masters Degree in Education. Though her main focus has been in the sciences, she did not limit her interests to just that. Jess has always enjoyed filmmaking and the arts, whether it has been for a class project or just playing around with the camera. To enhance her background in film, she has taken a film course at URI and hopes to bring her new knowledge to the camp. She has a passion for working with kids and wants to give the kids a very hands-on learning experience as well as a fun week. Jess has been part of the KidsEye Program for the past five years as a camp counselor and hopes to make this year even more successful with all her past experience.
