Join us this summer at the Heritage Society for an unforgettable filmmaking camp, where young creative minds can immerse themselves in the exciting world of cinema! Campers will enjoy hands-on workshops that cover every aspect of filmmaking—from crafting compelling scripts, directing dynamic scenes, mastering camera operation, and ultimately producing their very own film inspired by intriguing stories of 1800’s Houston.
Guided by experienced educator and children’s media producer, Dan Gordon, campers will have the opportunity to transform their artistic visions into reality. With access to professional-grade film equipment and special guest storytellers from Indigenous tribes, this camp promises to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience that inspires creativity and fosters curiosity and collaboration amongst campers.
Set against the historic backdrop of the Heritage Society in Downtown Houston, campers will have an exclusive all-access pass to the Society's remarkable buildings and artifacts, enriching their films in a genuine historical context.
To cap off this one-week camp experience, families and friends are invited to a red-carpet premiere on the final day, where campers will showcase their film in a celebratory event.
