Your teen loves movies—now he can create one from the ground up. Intro to Filmmaking: Charter Version is a year-long, 18-lesson, self-paced online course for middle and high school students, crafted by professional filmmakers and designed to be fully secular for charter school or public school use. Over about 120 hours—the equivalent of one high school elective credit—students move from learning the history of film to mastering the essentials of storytelling, shot composition, camera techniques, lighting setups, sound design, editing, and character development.

Each lesson blends engaging video instruction with hands-on assignments, film analysis, quizzes, and “Fun Film Facts” that highlight the quirks and milestones of the industry. The spiral-bound workbook keeps projects, notes, and film reports organized, while family-friendly viewing assignments double as lessons in critical analysis. The grand finale? Your teen will plan, shoot, and edit his own short film, which can be submitted for professional review and even entered into a festival for possible recognition. No expensive gear required—just a computer or smartphone, basic editing tools, and the drive to tell a story worth watching.
