Summer Film Camp

Summer camps aren’t what they used to be. When you were in high school, what did you do in the summer for fun? Well, last week several high school students decided to give up a week of summer (July 5-9) to attend the 2010 Media Missionary School and Vineyard Film Camp. What they did was amazing. They had to come up with an original story, then shoot and edit their project within one week while, at the same time, attending classes on film production. Although they had a blast, it was a lot of hard work to accomplish their projects.

On Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m., we had a gala showing of their efforts. Nearly 60 people attended, including family and friends. We here at Media Missionary School and the Vineyard wish to thank everyone who made this week an enormous success. Hats off to all of the media professionals who gave up their time to work with the students throughout the week. But, most of all, I want to thank the students themselves for their passion, energy, creativity and determination to reach the goal of producing a film. And, finally, a big thanks to the parents and family who support the ambitions and dreams of their young filmmakers.

Here are the films produced throughout the week as well as some of the behind-the-scenes photos.
