Description:

Kids are natural comedians, and in this workshop they’ll use their talents to make audiences roll in the aisles. We’ll explore everything from silent film comedy to improv to sketch comedy and impressions. Students will work together to create their own comedy short films!

Goofing around is serious business in this workshop, where students learn how to use camera angles, body language, and editing to craft perfectly-timed comedic scenes. Perfect for class clowns, joke writers, and kids who love to perform!

Returning filmmakers will get additional, advanced instruction.

Rising 7th-12th graders can work towards the Light House Achievement Award by completing programs in three different categories. This workshop counts as one Core Filmmaking credit. Visit lighthousestudio.org/achievement-award for more information.

The 2025 Middle School Comedy film Wheel of Misfortune won the Jury Award at the Light House Youth Film Festival!
