This book is intended to give educators a detailed look at building a high functioning film program from scratch with little to no resources. In conversations with colleagues teaching filmmaking around the world, the same questions seem to consistently come up:

​

• How do you teach young film students to write successful short screenplays?

​

• How do you plan for a class film shoot during the busy school day?

​

• How do you foster a collaborative and supportive environment for your film students?

​

• How do you manage equipment and technology in the classroom?

​

As filmmaking tools become more and more accessible, students become ready to explore this art form at an earlier age.  This book is dedicated to teaching the youngest generation of filmmakers.
