Studio Thirteen is an intensive lab for talented creative youths who are interested in honing their filmmaking skills. Created for young artists who wish to further their media arts education in a collaborative environment, participants will work in small teams to create an impactful short film over the course of thirteen weeks while learning the ins-and-outs of filmmaking. Offering one of the few training grounds for student filmmakers, this program provides students grades 9-12 the opportunity to gain hands-on vocational experience while receiving guidance and support every step of the way.
Developed in response to the specific needs of the current youth media arts landscape, Studio Thirteen distinguishes itself from other labs by providing participants with a series of cross-disciplinary developmental opportunities and a rare opportunity to produce a film that will be screened at FilmNorth’s new media arts center, and submitted to national student film festivals at no cost to the participants.
