Filmmaking Workshop (FREE) - Application for High School Students
APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 7, 2020, 11:59 pm.

Have you ever wanted to tell your story to a big audience? Have you ever thought that there are stories only you can tell, stories that aren’t being told by big Hollywood studios? We hear you, and we're here to work with you so you get your story out there. We're filmmakers who changed our paths to filmmaking for the very same reasons.

In a seven-week workshop on Wednesday evenings this Spring (March 25th to May 15th, with a break on April 1st), we’ll work together to make short movies using cellphones and tablets. We’ll guide you with the basics of filmmaking so that you can bring your stories to life. In the end, you will not only develop your own filmmaking skills, but we will also help you show your films in multiple showcases, archive your work in the public libraries, and even submit your works to festivals!

This workshop is set up primarily for underrepresented communities, i.e. the working class, racial minorities, and refugees, who otherwise might not have access to such classes. To know you better and to know what kinds of stories you would like to tell, please fill out this application:

If you are interested in this workshop and available to attend ALL of the dates below, please fill out this application.

When: March 18th to May 6th, Wednesdays, 5:30 - 8 pm (With a break on April 1st)
Where: UW-Madison, College Library
