Spring Break 4-Day Film and Media Camp
March 8 through March 11, 2010

The Connection's 10th media camp will be held during Spring Break 2010 in Maple Ridge, BC. Students will learn what it takes to write and produce anything from a 30 second commercial to a short film while gaining hands-on experience in workshops for acting, working behind the scenes, writing, and producing.

Whether you're interested in a career in the movie or television industry, hope to some day work in the film industry, or simply enjoy making short videos...you'll learn how to professionally create high quality content which can be enjoyed by many.

The Connection's Spring Break 4-Day Film and Media Camp is Beginner Friendly while introducing the students to a professional film production environment and teaching them how to create their own film projects with little to no budget.

Students will use professional high definition cameras (not the cheap consumer kind) to actually produce their own short film during this camp!

The Connection Spring Break Media Camp is instructed by Kyle Lawrence, The Connection's youth minister and an established entertainment industry professional.

Over the past five years, Kyle has produced two seasons of an internationally broadcast television series called Completing Kaden, a feature film called The Scarf, and Kyle has recently finished directing and producing a feature film called Logan, which stars actors Leo Howard (from GI Joe: Rise of Cobra, and Disney's Leo Little) and Booboo Stewart (from The Twilight Saga). The students at this camp will use the same cameras which Kyle and his crew used while filming Completing Kaden and The Scarf. Kyle has also instructed over 120 different teens at 11 different film and media camps and various film classes.
