Show Me Shorts is delighted to present a Filmmaking School Holiday Programme for tamariki aged 8-13 years old, and in year level 4 - 8 in Auckland.

Our team will be working with a group of children to make a short film together and learning along the way.

During the October school holidays of 2024 we will be running this course at Parnell District School, Parnell. Students need not be attending Parnell District School.

During the course your children will be guided to learn valuable filmmaking skills such as directing, acting, camera operating, lighting, costuming and making props. They will get creative with hands-on exercises, testing ideas, practicing cooperation and building confidence.

This course is facilitated by a registered teacher and a minimum of two adults will be present at all times. Our team has first aid training, and years of experience working with children and making movies.

The programme runs Monday to Friday from 9am-3pm. Children may be dropped off from 8:30am and must be collected by 3:30pm. Children must attend for the full five days.

All filmmaking equipment will be supplied, including cameras, lighting and sound recording gear. Some props and costumes may need to be sourced or made by the children as homework. Those children cast as the actors may also need to work on learning their lines at home.

The short films made during this course will screen at a red carpet premiere as part of a collection of Whānau Friendly short films at The Vic Devonport cinema in October.

Places are limited, so we recommend booking today. Any questions, you are welcome to reach out to us at info@showmeshorts.co.nz. For more information, head here.
