Young Kingdom Creators Summer Camp
Five days in which your child writes a story, directs it, acts in it, films it and cuts it together, then sits in a room and watches it on a screen with everybody else's families. They arrive as a child who likes films. They leave having made one.
What happens over the five days
This five-day program is designed to nurture confidence, teamwork, communication, critical thinking and self-expression — empowering young creators to turn their ideas into powerful visual stories.
Young Creators are trained in producing, directing, writing, acting and editing by industry professionals, and shoot a short film together. Their work is screened at our Short Film Premiere, and every young creator receives a certificate of completion.
What your child will learn
Producing
How a film actually gets made: planning it, organising a team, keeping a production on track.
Writing
Turning an idea into a story with structure, characters and something worth saying.
Directing
Working with a camera and a cast to put what is in their head onto a screen.
Acting
Performing for camera with confidence, and learning to take direction.
Editing
Cutting the footage into a finished film that holds an audience.
Premiere & certificate
Their finished film screens at our Short Film Premiere, and every young creator receives a certificate of completion.
