Choose from three different film production camps at Centauri Arts this summer – all of them at our studio in Bloor West Village and easily accessible from Swansea, High Park, The Junction, Roncesvalles and anywhere in Etobicoke, Mississauga or Toronto.
Why choose a summer film workshop this summer?
1. Learn a wide variety of film production and acting skills in just one week.
Discover screenwriting, storyboarding, directing, DOP, audio, lighting, design, marketing, editing and acting for the camera – all in one camp.
2. Movie-making skills connects to STEAM in school.
Learn technical and artistic skills and discover how they intersect, at film camp and in the real world.
3. Movie-making is a collaborative art form.
Movie camp teaches skills you can use later with your friends. All you need to make a movie is a phone, open source editing software – and the skills to get the job done!
4. At film camp you can work on your film portfolio for university or college
Most university film programs require the submission of a portfolio. Since you will be actively involved in making a movie during film camp, you will be creating valuable material for your portfolio.
5. Film camp can lead to real jobs in the future!
At Centauri Arts we have been teaching young film-makers for more than two decades, and many of our original film campers now make a living in the film and television industry. Toronto is a hub for the movie industry, and film-making skills can lead to a wealth of jobs in the future.
6. At film camp, you’ll learn skills with multiple applications
These include leadership, communication skills, problem-solving and team skills.
7. Our film camps are conveniently located in West Toronto
We’re a five minute walk from Jane and Runnymede subway stations, in the heart of Bloor West Village. Campers join us from Etobicoke, Mississauga, and from neighbourhoods such as The Junction, Roncesvalles, Swansea and Parkdale. But really, we are so close to the subway you can join us from anywhere in the city!
8. Our summer film workshops are created for teenagers ages 11-17.
Centauri Arts specializes in arts enrichment for ages 11-17. Our instructors are film professionals who make their living in the industry, and they also have a wealth of experience teaching teens. We’re more than a day camp – we are a summer enrichment program for the arts.
9. Centauri Arts has been offering arts camps for 29 years!
This summer, we’re also offering acting camps, digital design camps, fine art camps, creative writing camps and painting camps – all for ages 11-17.
10.Film Camps are FUN!
There’s something magical about starting with an idea on Monday, and ending with a film premier on Friday. Our film camps are fast paced. Film campers learn by doing, which is enormously satisfying!
