Now is the time to firm up plans to make your summer make a difference to your resume!  What you do during the summer can make the difference between great scholarship offers and so-so offers. You can even make professional connections that will draw you directly into business and career.

Here is a promising two-week professional camp run by Epicenter Pictures. They host 6 specialty tracks, including screenwriting, producing, directing, cinematography, acting, and editing. Each track learns independently and then all collaborate to produce several short films by the end of the camp.  The experience culminates in a mini-film festival on the final day.  Here is what Epicenter Pictures says:

The tracks are taught by peer mentors who, have already been working in film for at least five years and are eager to help you hone your art, develop your leadership potential and break into the film business. Additionally, guest speakers provide you with an opportunity to mingle with more established professionals.

What will you take away?

• A dynamic hands-on experience on your own live set, with the latest in indie-filmmaking equipment
• A short film that can be submitted to festivals across the country or incorporated into your professional reel
• A professional network to get you started in an industry where it’s all about who you know

Most film camps put a heavy emphasis on classroom work. Epicenter believes that you learn best by doing
