End of Program
At the conclusion of this program, students will have the knowledge to produce and execute their own short film to showcase for the "Beyond Fronteras" project and the history of Santa Cruz County with the tools already available to them at home and from school.
Our goal is to give students the resources they need to create their own art on their own terms once the program has ended so that they may continue on their path towards their passion for the arts and the industry of filmmaking.
Students will also receive a professional IMDB and festival credit for their participation in the production of the professional short film.
