summer filmmaking Camps for kids & teens

The Frozen River Film Festival Summer Filmmaking Intensive experience includes activities and projects focused on team building, storytelling, and creative problem solving. Participants will learn from industry professionals and can expect hands-on experience operating cameras, three-point lighting kits, audio equipment, and editing software. Students will emerge with stronger leadership skills, experience working with professional filmmakers, and new friends with common interests in the creative arts. The creative works produced will be featured at a Frozen River Film Festival event later in the year.

Professional, affordable and FUN filmmaking education is accessible to families of every income level thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, grantors and donors. To make affordable filmmaking education available to Winona area youth, please consider donating to the FRFF Education Fund.

Funds are used to pay film artist-educators, purchase supplies, and ensure lack of lunch is not a barrier for any of our students.
