🎬Youth Filmmaking Program

From Concept to Completion – Young Creatives Tell Their Own Stories

The InnaStar Youth Filmmaking Program is a hands-on after-school and summer lab where young people learn how to turn their ideas into powerful short films.

Over the course of 8–12 weeks, students move through the full production process: story development, scriptwriting, directing, acting, camera work, sound, and basic editing. Under the guidance of professional teaching artists, they learn how to collaborate, problem-solve, and lead on set.

By the end of the program, each cohort has created an original short film from concept to completion—and we celebrate their work with a red-carpet style screening for family, friends, and community partners.

Where we’ve served:

Our filmmaking program has been offered in partnership with schools, youth organizations, and community groups in the Lehigh Valley and beyond, including summer camp collaborations where more than 60 students have completed films in a single season.

At InnaStar, we don’t just teach film we use film as a tool for healing, reflection, and empowerment. Every young person leaves knowing their story matters.
