Wonderful program with a production quality that rivals any Hollywood studio. My daughter Brooklynn has had the privilege of being a summer student for 3 years and has grown leaps and bounds in her knowledge of the film making process and industry. Her overall confidence has increased in school and socially from her opportunities given being an actress. 10/10 recommend!

It's absolutely magical to watch these students learn, grow and blossom into young filmmakers. - Rose A.

I love YFA so so much! Sam and Eric and all the staff there are are phenomenal! They are so great and always so professional! The kids really learn real life On-Set film experience and they run it like a real Industry set. The kids truly learn a lot!

My daughter absolutely loved being part of YFA’s Advanced Film Camp! She attended all three weeks, giving her the chance to explore every stage of the filmmaking process. She gained hands-on experience with screenwriting, camera setup and operation, directing, editing, and CGI, introducing her to technical skills while broadening her understanding of filmmaking. Working with experienced mentors, handling professional equipment, and learning in such an interactive environment had a huge impact on her. She came home excited ev... read more
