Description:

*NEW WORKSHOP FOR 2026!*

Floating in space, visiting alien planets, traveling through time... nothing is impossible in this workshop! Working in small groups, young filmmakers will write, film, and edit their own short science fiction movies.

With a focus on special effects, costumes, and props, they'll have the tools they need to bring their most out-of-this-world ideas to life! The week ends with a big-screen premiere at the Vinegar Hill Theatre.

Tuition assistance is available for all Light House workshops. To apply, fill out the Tuition Assistance application and wait for a response from our staff with further instructions.

Watch the 2025 MovieMakers film "Project Alien"!
