DREAM BIG.
The Cameo’s World Cinema Project understands that sometimes you have a dream so big, it’s hard to
see how to fit it into your life. If your dream has always been to tell your story through film, this workshop is just for you!
To encourage local student filmakers to participate in the annual Student Film Competition, the
Cameo Cinema in St. Helena is offering a free, hands-on workshop to give students an intensive
introduction to the craft of filmmaking. Nowhere else will you find this level of filmmaking intensity
combined with this much fun.
GET CREATIVE.
Our World Cinema Project designed this workshop to help you master the creative and technical demands of telling a story with moving images. Learn about directing, writing, editing, cinematography,
and production from local film professionals. This workshop is not just about making movies; it was
creaated to help you bring your vision and your passion to the big screen.
