Students can learn professional filmmaking from concept to premiere in this comprehensive two-week intensive: Movie Making 101. Students work with ULM faculty and industry professionals to create a complete short film, learning everything from camera work and directing to editing and sound design. Most importantly, students discover that nothing stands between them and becoming a filmmaker right now.

All equipment is provided, and no prior experience is required. Students finish with a completed film perfect for college portfolios and the confidence to continue their creative work. The two-week camp runs July 20-31 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. daily (excluding weekends).

Limited spots are available.
