We provide a creative, supportive environment where young minds can explore their imagination, develop technical skills, and build confidence through hands-on learning and collaboration.
Core Values
Creativity: We celebrate originality and encourage kids to think outside the box to tell their unique stories.
Collaboration: Filmmaking is a team effort, and we teach kids the value of working together to achieve a shared vision.
Empowerment: We give kids the tools and confidence they need to express themselves and share their voice.
Inclusivity: Everyone has a story to tell, and we create a space where all kids feel welcomed, respected, and valued.
Growth: We focus on learning by doing, fostering resilience, problem-solving, and a love for lifelong learning.

Hi, I'm 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 1200 kids and teens create over 150 films...completely from start to finish.
Children Grow Up Too Fast
Start making memories that you can watch for years to come.
