Take Two Film Academy (at The Mandell School)

Students at the Take Two Film Academy learn all aspects of filmmaking from creating an original story to producing a film. Classes at the academy range from learning how to act in front of a camera to screenwriting and directing a film. Studies also focus on the three stages of filmmaking: Pre-Production, Production, and Editing. Within these stages students learn the basics of storyboarding, location scouting, camera operations and editing with professional software.

Take Two started in 2009 with the mission to teach young people video and media literacy. By attending classes at Take Two, kids are immersed into the world of filmmaking and creativity. Your child's imagination and story-telling abilities are coupled with proven techniques and real-world filmmaking software. After learning how to operate gear and edit film, they'll be saying "Lights, Camera, Action!" in no time.
