FRAME is a week-long, hands-on filmmaking intensive for middle and high school students designed to take participants through the complete process of creating original short films— from concept to final screening. Students will work in small production teams and collaborate across all major filmmaking roles including writing, directing, acting, cinematography, sound, and editing. Rather than learning film theory in isolation, students actively produce real short films in a fast-paced, collaborative studio environment. The week concludes with a public screening at the San Angelo Performing Arts Center where students premiere their finished work for family, friends, and the community.
