Meet Our Founder Lizzy
With over a decade of teaching kids and teens the art of filmmaking, I know the ins and outs about how to make a short film and make learning fun!
Working for the Texas Film Commission, Terrence Malick, and even being Christian Bale's assistant for a film shoot, I've become an
expert at every step of the filmmaking process.
With the curriculum I've created, I've helped over 1400 kids and teens create over 200 films...completely from start to finish.
