Summer Planning Just Got Easier

Managing and coordinating your family’s summer calendar can be nothing short of Olympic! We hope that our helpful new “Summer Arts Calendar 2016” tool will assist you. It breaks down which summer programs are running each week.

Summer Arts Calendar 2016

Most of our programs are one-week camps, but there are exceptions. Please take special note of any two-week (or more) program dates. The majority of our programs are also “full day” camps (meaning 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 / 4:00 p.m.), but again there are exceptions. Please take note of any “half day” (or extended) program times.

And The Oscar Goes To…

Aspiring young film-makers have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the film production process this summer at our Filmmaking Workshop, presented by Mason’s Film & Video Studies program.

FV12N

Precluded by the one-week Screenwriting Workshop, June 27 – July 1, the two-week Filmmaking Workshop focuses on the many aspects of film production, including:

directing
videography
location sound
editing

Students will direct, shoot and even act in original short films. By the end of the two weeks, students will have a completed video which will be published online. Mason Film & Video Studies professor Amanda Kraus will instruct participants, using university resources, equipment, and facilities. Past student films have included comedies, dramas, and thrillers.
