Description:

In this workshop, you'll create your own heroes and villains, choose their powers and costumes, then bring them together in an all-new adventure! Filmmakers work in small groups to learn screenwriting, camerawork, editing, and special effects by making their own short superhero movies.

At the end of the week, we'll watch their movies the way they were meant to be seen - on the big screen in a real theater!

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