Young Filmmakers Academy's  Rising Starz Digital Film Lab (formerly 8 Week Film School) is a comprehensive film studies program specifically designed for kids and teens ages 10-17. Movies are an important part of our lives and more and more kids are becoming interested in how they are made. YFA's eight week program is designed to give your child a crash course in how to create professional movies from start to finish.

Students will re-produce a scene from a famous movie and learn by experiencing what went into that scene to make it work. From screenwriting to lighting and sound, to camera work to editing, YFA's award winning instructors will guide your child through the creative process and onto a journey of artistic expression using the cinematic arts.

​

Classes are held at our Ohio City Studio on Wednesday nights from 6pm-8pm and Saturday afternoons from 12pm - 2pm and are limited to 12 students.  Whether your junior Spielberg wants to direct, record sound, edit, create special effects or act, this program is guaranteed to provide them with a fun and rewarding experience in a safe and structured environment.
