Filmmaking Workshop
Children will experience the entire process of filmmaking—choosing from either fiction or nonfiction, they will write a script, film, edit, and produce their own PR posters and host a screening. One of the coaches of the workshop is renowned director Togashi Shin (Sorry, Off-Balance and Oshin) and this should be a rare opportunity for participants to experience the real world of filmmaking. Please join us!
