Mini Film School!
Jul 11 @ 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm

Ever wonder how a movie gets made?  In this 4-week workshop, we will work together to make an original short film.  Each session will focus on another aspect of production, from screenwriting to editing, and the skills learned here will travel to wherever you want them to go.  No prior skill required, and it’s okay if you can’t make it every week.  Open to ages 12 and up,  registration is recommended, sign up at the library in person or by calling us at 413-527-1031 or emailing us at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.

With phone cameras as powerful as they are, you can make the next great motion picture in your own backyard!
