“Great Films, Starring You” emphasizes film appreciation and critical thinking through storytelling, acting, writing and improvisation. You’ll spend each morning watching classic films, and then spend the afternoon planning and recreating iconic scenes.

This experience encourages active observation and creative exploration of plot, theme, character, relationships, emotions and subtext. Focus will not be on the technical intricacies of filmmaking, though some will be touched upon as necessary.

All students will receive their own copy of the final film that will premiere on the big screen of the historic Capitol Theatre.
