Description:

Please note there is no class on Friday July 3rd.

Ready to cast a spell on your audience? In this magical workshop, students will create movies based on fairy tales and myths. They’ll start with familiar characters like Hansel and Gretel, Hercules, or Cinderella or create their own! 

This workshop is perfect for kids with interest in storytelling, magic, and fantasy. Working in small groups, we’ll cover story structure from “once upon a time” to “happily ever after,” then bring the tall tales to life with cinematography, green screen special effects, editing and music! Young filmmakers can create anything they imagine!

Join us at the end of the week to see their films on the big screen!

The 2025 Myths and Fairy Tales film Stuck in Time was featured at the Virginia Film Festival! Watch it now!
