Description:

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create an adrenaline-fueled film with chases, stunts, and witty one-liners. Students will learn the basics of writing, directing, and editing, then move on to special topics like green screen special effects and safe fight choreography while creating their very own action epics!

Ever dreamed of jumping from rooftop to rooftop, dangling from a helicopter, or running from an explosion? Want to learn how real filmmakers create those unforgettable scenes without anyone getting hurt? Action & Special Effects is the workshop for you!

(Please note: toy weapons, especially guns, are not allowed at Light House.)

Returning filmmakers will get additional, advanced instruction.
