Join the Minnesota 4-H video project team for a hybrid filmmaking experience for beginner and experienced filmmakers alike!
Youth meet online with instructors for three one-hour sessions to prepare for the in-person, overnight experience on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus in St. Paul and Minnesota State Fairgrounds.
Youth will work in teams to create a short video while building expertise in filmmaking and editing skills.
The in-person camp includes field trips related to filmmaking in the Twin Cities. Participants will be filming with the Minnesota State Fairgrounds as a backdrop, as well as sleeping and eating in the 4-H Building.
This program culminates in a film festival with youth films taking center stage during the Minnesota State Fair! All sessions are facilitated by UMN faculty and professional filmmakers.
We thank our generous donors to the 4-H video project, who helped keep the cost low.
