This summer Maple Mountain High School, along with Backlot Studios, will be hosting a film camp for 11-16 year olds that
covers basic video production. Each kid will work with a small group and a member of our staff to create, shoot, and edit their own movies. It is an awesome opportunity for young filmmakers to gain hands-on experience, or for kids who just want to do something unique, make friends, and have a good time.

The camp is directed by BYU graduate Amber Lewis (the video production teacher at Maple Mountain High School) and focuses on learning the basics of camera work, lighting, sound, and video editing; not to mention spending time in front of the camera as actors. By the end of the camp you will have the skills necessary to create exceptional films, and a great understanding of the industry.

Check out our website at www.backlotfilmcamp.com to register or to learn more about the camp!
