Over the course of a two-week filmmaking intensive, participants learn the primary components of writing, acting, directing, and editing. Led by experienced F4F professionals, students collaborate in a fun environment to hone their skills and develop original short films. On the last day of camp, students organize a red carpet-event and screen their films for family and friends. Ages 13-18. No prior experience is necessary!
Film & Education Enrichment.
Five4Five Films (F4F) is a media arts program with a focus on creating original short films with students in underserved communities. We are dedicated to teaching creative critical thinking skills that students can apply throughout their lives, as well as providing inroads for future careers in the film industry.
Students learn key components of filmmaking such as writing, acting, directing, and editing, to create their own short films. Throughout the process, they develop essential character-building traits such as teamwork, problem-solving, and confidence.
The original short films created during each program are screened at the annual Five4Five Film Festival!
Key Program Benefits
The value of every Five4Five program extends beyond the classroom and film set. Our work assists with English as a Second Language (ESL), special needs learners, and under-represented populations by providing a unique and inclusive Project Based Learning experience.
Additional areas supported by creative critical thinking and hands-on film education research include: Visual and Multimodal Learning, Inclusive and Collaborative Learning, Real-World Application of Language Skills, Engagement and Motivation, and Life and Career Skills Development.
Career Pathways
Our programming introduces students to various career options in the film industry, from Production Assistants, Editors, to Writers and Directors. Former students have ventured into acting, pursued film majors in college, and even returned to contribute as part of our team.
“This is extremely important because it gives students a way to express themselves and learn skills they can take into the real world.”
