A Youth Development 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization Making Kids “Future Ready”

Empowering young people with life and leadership skills through motion media.

WHAT WE DO

Camps & Workshops

The Movie Institute’s camps, workshops, and classes are vibrant and innovative programs, driven by your creativity, and designed to build skills and teamwork with hands-on, real-world training in all aspects of motion media production & performance. Behind it all is fun, and we heap it on like hot butter on popcorn.

 

 

Video Production Services

Our Video Production Services program is a real world training program for some of our most ambitious students. It’s not just a way for commercial and non-profit organizations to make professional quality videos at reduced rates, it’s also a great way to help young people gain real experience in the video production business.

TESTIMONIALS

I love this program and the people who run it! As a kid, it was one of the most looked-forward-to weeks of the year for me. I still have lasting friendships with people I met there. Without the program’s instruction and ability to see young people as potential creatives with valuable opinions and not just children, I likely wouldn’t get to make films and commercials for a living today. Signing up for the program was one of the best investments I ever made in my future.

Kamp Hollywood gave me the opportunity to find my passion in producing. Every camper gets hands-on experience and ultimately decides what their role will be. I learned all the film lingo and experienced the process of making a movie from writing out the ideas to screening the projects for our families, but most importantly I learned how to collaborate as a member of a team. I looked forward to going to Kamp Hollywood every summer and frequently reference my experience in job interviews. I cannot recommend this program enough. If you are a parent considering signing your child up, know you are giving your child a worthwhile experience, full of valuable information and fun times!
