Applying to college can already be a daunting task, and that’s without needing to make a fully developed short film! Our instructors and the staff at Midpen Media Center are here to help you through the process!

Our College Prep program is designed for teens and young adults who have some experience making films and need guidance on the process of tackling a larger independent project, whether you’re wanting to build your portfolio or specifically make a film for your college application. Our instructors, filmmakers themselves, can help you through the entire process, from ideation, screenwriting, storyboarding, casting, shooting, editing, and promotion.

In this Fall Intensive class, students will work with their peers to draft ideas, write scripts, and story board their films, all while engaging in valuable face-to-face networking and receiving career and college application guidance from our instructor. Students will be given tasks to complete during class time that they will then share with the cohort and receive personalized feedback and assistance in refining their work.

This is a week-long intensive course that meets every day for 7 hours, and is specifically tailored, like a tutoring or personalized education program, to each students’ needs and dreams. If you have additional questions, please email James Snell, Education Program Manager, at [email protected].
