Austin Film Festival's Summer Film Camp

Austin Film Festival's Summer Film Camp

Presented by Austin Film Festival at The First Baptist Church of Austin

Campers learn everything they need to know to comfortably get behind the camera and turn their ideas into real movies. Furthermore, they have the unique opportunity to see their films on the big screen (and walk the red carpet!) at the annual Summer Film Camp Showcase (Sunday, August 4). Students also participate in inspirational panel discussions at camp with visiting guest speakers, who in the past have included industry luminaries such as James V. Hart (writer, Hook), Rita Hsiao (writer, Toy Story 2), Robert Mark Kamen (writer, The Karate Kid), Justin Marks (writer, The Jungle Book), and Caroline Thompson (writer, The Nightmare Before Christmas).

Austin Film Festival offers morning, afternoon, and day-long sessions every week from June 3 – July 26 (including the week of July 4). All of their camps meet daily, and most sessions are one week long.

Austin Film Festival wants campers to make the best films they can. That’s why their professional instructors are hand-chosen to lead students through every part of the filmmaking process, from conception to final product. All instructors have backgrounds in both teaching and filmmaking so they can give campers the best guidance and support they need to truly shine.

At Summer Film Camp, Austin Film Festival focuses on two things: Storytelling and collaboration. They believe that for any budding artist, these are of utmost importance. By knowing how tell a story, campers can express themselves while practicing their developing filmmaking skills (be it directing, camera operating, sound recording, or editing). Collaboration is a challenging but necessary aspect of filmmaking, since every production is made up of many crew members playing different, but equally important roles.
