Filmmaking or tv production schools

I'm looking for a filmmaking or tv production school for my teenage daughter. She will be attending one in San Francisco, but I'm wondering if there is anything in the East Bay. Alix

Summer programs for teen who wants to make movies

Does anyone know of summer programs for teens who want to learn how to make movies, other than the NY Film Academy? It would be great to hear from anyone whose child has taken classes at the Academy of Art, or a local community college. Anything at New Expressions?

Summer film-making class for teen

My 17 year old daughter attended a summer program called Young Filmmaker's Worskhop in Rockport, Maine last summer for 2 weeks and had a great time. Check it out at www.TheWorkshops.com. Ruth

I believe Mills College has a summer camp for teens in computers and film-making. My younger daughter went to their summer camp for younger kids and had a really good experience. I know they just sent out their camp brochures- call the college soon because I think the spaces fill up quickly. It is a beautiful campus, and great facilities (brand new pool, etc.), good counselors, etc.. Dianne

The Film Arts Foundation in SF has 16mm film production classes offered 4 or 5 times a year. They are 8-10 weeks long, teaching all the basics of cinematography, lighting, editing, and creative aspects. They are not geared to children per se, but at 15 1/2, I'd say a smart, self-assurred kid could really soar. All students produce a short film during the class. Film Arts Foundation phone number is 415.552-8760.

Another resource is Cal Arts in Valencia. They host a film/video production class for high school kids for 8 (?) weeks in the summer. I have a friend who teaches there and always has rave reviews of the students and projects. for California Institute of the Arts in Valencia,

The filmmmaking classes at Cal Arts, Valencia are taught throught the California State Summer School for the Arts program. There is a website at URL:

I phoned my friend Greta Snider, who teaches there. Greta says the deadline for this year's applications has probably passed, so your daughter could apply for next year perhpas. Also, the financial aid is very generous.

For video production classes (for youth and/or adult), I'd call East Bay Media Center on University (843.3699). They do classes at the Center, or can put you in touch with other resources.

UC Extension summer catalog is another resource.

Good luck, Claire
