Austin School of Film

"At their age, most of us just watched movies.
These young film buffs make them."
- Chris Garcia, Austin-American Statesman Film Writer

The Austin School of Film's award-winning Youth Summer Film Camp is made up of intensive two-week courses that cover the fundamentals and creative aspects of filmmaking, animation, acting & directing, and editing. Students, ages 10 to 16, work with experienced filmmakers and animators to realize their creative visions and produce their own films by the end of each course. From developing the idea to planning the production process to screening the finished masterpiece, ASoF fully and quickly immerses the student into the wonderful world of filmmaking.

The Austin School of Film Youth Program is known for its award winning youth films, screenings on HBO, the Guggenheim Museum, AFI Film Festival, Chicago International Children's Film Festival, The Austin Film Festival, Nashville Film Festival and many more.

Have you ever watched music videos on TV and thought "I could make something cooler than that"? Well you probably can! With today's technology, it's never been easier.

A music video is the visual counterpart to a recorded song. The medium allows for limitless creativity. You can tell a story, mesmerize, shock, or simply entertain the viewers while they experience the music. Music videos are a great way to become acquainted with the digital video format.

Students are encouraged to bring their own camera and will be taught to create their own music videos from shooting to editing, with an emphasis on creativity and originality.
