That’s A Wrap!
CONGRATS to all our Summer Filmmaking Campers!
Both sessions of our Summer Filmmaking Camps have ended. We’re so proud of our young filmmakers!
They had lessons in screenwriting, directing, acting, cinematography, production design, sound, and editing.
And it all culminated with a screening at the new Central Library, where the list of films included: Brett The Threat, Detention, Middle School Murder, The Monster That Wears Prada, The Sunny’s, Home Run, T-Money, The Cupcake-Off and The Header.
We hope everyone had a blast as much as we did! And we look forward to seeing where these young filmmakers go next. Maybe to the Bend Film Festival?!
Introducing: Reel Talks
WATCH: Filmmakers on Filmmaking

This first video is called The Indie Hustle and features interviews with Dee Rees (Writer & Director), Elena Oxman (writer and director), and Juliet Berman (Producer). Available on YouTube, IG, Facebook, and TikTok.
Thank you, Kelly Bernard and @Glitch&Grit, for all your hard work in making this series a reality.
Stay tuned for more coming soon!
