The Summer Experimental Filmmaking Lab
MAKE A FILM! WORK WITH A PRO! TELL YOUR STORY!
The Summer Experimental Filmmaking Lab is a PAID experimental filmmaking program that provides community, support, and resources for neurodivergent NYC students ages 15-21 to explore storytelling through filmmaking. Reel Works focuses on individual needs to provide multiple entry points to expression. This workshop will have two lead Filmmaking Instructors with a Special Education background and two Peer Mentors.
