New York Film Academy in Los Angeles is hosting several summer camps for
teenagers and kids, providing practical training in disciplines within the film, media and
performing arts industries.
Students work on exciting projects and learn the latest techniques and tools within their
chosen creative field while studying under the direction and mentorship of experienced
NYFA faculty.
While strengthening students’ skills in collaboration, presentation, critique and time
management, NYFA’s summer camps also help students forge a creative path as they
pursue their chosen fields.
“This is a valuable opportunity for young artists to find their creative voice and forge a
creative path. Our students create polished, advanced level work that can be
showcased on resumes and applications,” said Chris Pettoni, NYFA’s director of youth
and special programs at the Los Angeles campus.
Programs for kids ages 10-13 and 14-17 range from one week to three and six weeks in
Filmmaking, Acting for Film, Screenwriting, Photography, 3D Animation, Game Design
and more.
Longer programs have residential options available for students outside of Los Angeles.
“Our students learn by doing. We introduce them to the foundations of these different
disciplines by guiding them through a curriculum in which they’re making films, writing
scripts, taking photos, creating games and animation and performing in front of the
camera,” Pettoni said.
