About the Young Director’s Workshops

Young Director’s Workshops take Michigan youth’s interest in film to the next level.  Award-winning film professionals offer one-day seminars in various aspects of filmmaking including: film production, direction, editing and sound.  Often children leave these sessions with an appreciation for the richness and scope of film, along with a tangible artifact of their activities - films they can view and share with their community.
