Moviemakers: Character Education + Filmmaking
Watch one of our elementary student films above, or follow this link for a middle school film.
Moviemakers Overview
- Your students can craft a short digital film, then share it with your student body!
- Our films address character education topics, from bullying prevention to making wise choices. The creative process also makes connections to Language Arts and Arts & Humanities.
- We come equipped with an HD camera, screenplays, lighting gear, professional editing, and everything else needed to craft high-quality films.
- We’ll work with your students in grades 3 and up either during the school day or after school (your choice).
- Drama by George has provided character-building theatre programs to tens of thousands of Kentuckiana students since 2007. Watch more samples of our student films at www.dramabygeorge.com/gallery.
Option 1: After-School Program
We’ll work with a group of up to 16 students after school to rehearse and record one or more short films (1-5 minutes long). Then we’ll edit the footage so you can show the finished product on your televised morning announcements. We can even adjust the number of roles so that every student has a speaking part. A five-session after-school program starts at $1188, and includes professional editing for your students’ films.
Option 2: In-Class Workshops
From looking out for kids who are “different” to taking responsibility for yourself, our screenplays address vital character education topics for children and teens. Choose the scripts you like and a group of students to perform in them, and we’ll do the rest! Producing one complete project with your students starts at $400, and includes professional editing for your students’ film.
