“My 11-year old son got his first taste of short filmmaking at The Movie Institute during Kamp Filmopolis. The owners and mentors are amazing! They all have huge hearts for giving kids creative opportunity, and the facilities are impressive. My son had such a fun and positive experience. We’ll be sending him back for more!”

“Highly recommend this school/camp! I just sent my daughter for her first camp, and she had an amazing time. I would have given the camp 10 stars if allowed. The people that run this school truly care about getting all the kids engaged, and keeping the creativity flowing. The end product was also amazing! Check them out on their YouTube channel! We will definitely be back!”
“The Movie Institute has been an amazing experience for my son. He learned to storyboard, act and create films with a team with real industry experience. The school is inclusive to all. Highly recommend, we’ll be back for the fall workshops!”
“My son had an incredible experience during his week at The Movie Institute’s summer camp! The team was absolutely fantastic—so engaging and genuinely passionate about working with kids. They didn’t just teach—they inspired. What stood out most was how the kids got to own every part of the movie-making process. From writing the script to handling production and even working the camera, they were empowered to create something truly their own. But beyond the technical skills, what really made this camp special was the sense of community. My son came home not just with new knowledge, but with a new group of friends and a deeper understanding of collaboration and creativity. Highly recommend for any young storyteller or filmmaker in the making!”
“My daughter went to Kamp Hollywood and had an amazing time. She learned so much and enjoyed getting to make a short film. They did such a great job of teaching her all aspects of the film making process! Highly recommend for those interested in the movie making business.”
