HER Film Camp
Founded by meredith Kirkman
A project by the Youthpower365
HER Film Camp offers girls and gender non-conforming youth an opportunity to learn the art of storytelling through film production. Campers are encouraged to explore their talents, be bold and brave, and understand their potential impact.
‘BRAVE AND BOLD’
During the camp, the students learn how to take a film from conception to production, and are hands-on at every step of the process. In addition to technical skill-building, the students also learn about the power of sharing their unique perspective and experience through storytelling, while forming friendships and working as a team along the way.
behind the scenes
WOMEN IN FILM
“It’s important to introduce the opportunities that women have in film, which is an industry that has historically been dominated by men and the male perspective.
There is a lot of empowerment, because we do take the opportunity to learn that there is a lack of representation and equality in the film industry, especially at the elite, Hollywood level. I share some TED Talks and other people in the industry talking about this issue, so they know that this is a field that we have a space in, and that we can step up and get a lot of potential work in. Similar to ‘Girls Who Code’, I just think it’s so cool to show them the movement of women in film and to get them ignited in that.”
