In all New York Film Academy film camps, each student writes, shoots, directs and edits his or her own films. Film camp is designed for people with little or no experience in making films. The programs focus on the fundamental elements of visual storytelling that enable the participants to direct their own projects.
Our Acting for Film Camps are often integrated with our Filmmaking Camps, providing many one-of-a-kind advantages for the acting student interested in working in front of the camera. While the acting students are training, the film students are busy writing scripts and learning the technical aspects of directing. Whenever possible the acting students are given the experience of acting on a live set in front of the camera on the filmmaker’s shooting exercises and student film productions.
