FILM INTERNSHIP FOR TEENS

June 29– July 7

(A two week intensive introduction into the world

of Film)

A unique opportunity to be on set during the production of a professional film, to be shot in Bristol and Lincoln over a 2-week period. Led by 3 professionals, with Burlington College film students as crew, teen participants will act as production assistants.

Watch how a film gets made - from storyboarding the script, through casting, rehearsals, cinematography, sound recording, screening 'dailies' , editing the footage as it is shot, and wrapping up the 2 weeks with a public screening of the finished film. It'll be fast-paced, intense, exciting.

Open to teenagers who are dependable, interested in learning

more about filmmaking, and willing to work hard.

A great opportunity!
