Dallas Film Society – 2014 Film Camp
This Summer, the Dallas Film Society is excited to offer two three-day film workshops for students ages 14-18.
Professors from the Southern Methodist University Division of Film and Media Arts will present highly focused information on film topics and tricks of the trade to small classes. It’s a unique, hands-on learning opportunity that goes well beyond standard classroom work. And it’s summer camp, so you know it’s fun!
