As seen on PBS, the award winning Lakewood Young Filmmakers Academy is now enrolling for our fall programs. With the popular summer camp session completely full, we are offering early enrollment to our fall session with not one but two classes.

8 WEEK FILM SCHOOL (ONLY 2 SPOTS LEFT!)

This 8 week session is a comprehensive film studies program specifically designed for kids and teens ages 10-17. Movies are an important part of our lives and more and more kids are becoming interested in how they are made. LYFA's eight week program is designed to give your child a crash course in how to create professional movies from start to finish. From screenwriting to lighting and sound, to camera work to editing, our award winning instructors will guide your child through the creative process and onto a journey of artistic expression using the cinematic arts.

LIVE FROM LAKEWOOD: SKETCH COMEDY WRITING

In this course we will cover different sketch formats, working in a writers room, pitching your ideas confidently, and revising a final script. This class is for kids and teens ages 12-17 who love to make people smile.

Instructor Eric Swinderman studied at the world famous Second City and is an Emmy nominated TV and Film writer and director. Through his experiences working with various groups and shows, you'll learn the craft of sketch comedy writing and "what makes something funny?"

The 5 week class includes 4 weeks of writing and rehearsal and culminates in a live performance of the class work.
