Waycross offers a Summer Film Workshop for Youth

Waycross will once again be offering summer workshops for area youth. These nine week, eleven session workshops, led by Cincinnati filmmaker Bob Leibold, will introduce students in grades 6 - 12 to the process of film making. The students will create a short film (between 5-10 minutes), complete with credits and soundtrack, while learning the fundamentals of how films are created.

This is a hands-on workshop. The process will begin in the concept stage where the students will create rounded characters, determine a plot and follow a storyline. Based on these parameters, the students will write a script with the help of our workshop leaders. Once the script has been written, the students will serve as cast and crew. After the filming has been completed, interested students can assist in the optional editing process. The workshop will conclude with a premier party for friends and family, with each student receiving a DVD copy of the completed project.

This is an opportunity for kids to be exposed to several new skills in a fun environment and to have a tangible result to show teachers, college admissions officers, and family.

The workshop for grades 9-12 will be held on Wednesday Mornings, 10 AM - 1 PM, from June 10 - July 29. Sessions will also be held on Thursday Mornings - June 18 and July 23.

The workshop for grades 6-8 will be held on Wednesday Afternoons, 2 PM- 5 PM, from June 10 - July 29. Sessions will also be held on Thursday Mornings - June 18 and July 23.

A premiere party for students in both workshops and their families will be held on Friday, August 14 at 6 PM.

There is a registration fee of $125 for this Workshop. To register for the summer workshops, go to our Workshop Registration Page at http://www.waycross.tv/summerworkshop.html. For more information, contact Chip Bergquist at 825-2429 or chip@waycross.org.
