inFrame Academy

Guided by inframe

A complete film arts program for youth organizations and schools

Academy gives young people access to the full film arts education experience. From concept to finished project, participants engage with every part of the process, on camera and behind the scenes. Designed for schools and youth organizations serving grades 3 through 12, it brings a creative opportunity to communities that standard arts curricula rarely reach.

What your organization gets

A complete program, built and run by us

We come to you ready to work, fitting into the structure you've already built. Academy is reliable, consistent, and designed to work within your existing schedule, taking time before a single session begins to understand your organization, your participants, and what success looks like.

You provide the space and your community. We bring the instructor, the curriculum, the creative direction, and everything needed to take participants from their first session all the way to a finished project they were a part of making, a real and lasting piece of work they can share and be proud of. The planning, the instruction, and the production are all ours to handle. You focus on your community. We focus on the rest.

The journey

From first session to finished project

Every Academy program takes participants on a complete creative journey, from the first idea all the way to a finished project they made together.

1
Inspire
Every great film starts with a story. Participants explore the foundations of film arts, develop their characters, and work with inFRAME to shape a script built around the group. Creative confidence grows here, and so does a sense of ownership over what the project will become.
2
Learn
With the script in hand, participants go deeper. Table reads bring the story to life for the first time. Blocking, lighting, camera angles, and sound all come into focus as participants begin to understand not just how to perform, but how every element of a production works together.
3
Create
The camera rolls. Participants step onto set and bring everything they have learned into a real production, performing with professional direction in a working film environment. This is where it all comes together.
