NYFA Summer Film & Acting Camps Are No Kids Play
May 19th, 2009 Posted in Film & Acting Camp
During the summer of 2009 hundreds of kids and teenagers from every corner of the world will study film and acting at the New York Film Academy Summer Camps in New York City, Los Angeles, Orlando and Italy. Designed to teach the basic elements and techniques with a hands-on approach, these one of a kind camps have been teaching young filmmakers and actors for the last decade.
But make no mistake about it, the NYFA Summer Camps are no kids play. Kids come here to learn and master their craft.
NYFA offers one of a kind, hands-on film and acting camps designed to teach youth the fundamentals of movie making and acting in film. Many of Hollywood’s most notable actors and directors have sent their sons and daughters to NYFA camps. Steven Spielberg, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Kevin Kline, Pierce Brosnan, director George Romero, Melanie Griffith, Academy Award winning actor F. Murray Abraham, are just to name a few.
NYFA filmmaking camps, each student writes, produces, directs, and edits his or her own films. Film camps are designed for people with little or no experience in making films. The programs focus on the fundamental elements of visual storytelling that enable the participants to direct their own projects. In addition, each students assist other members of the crew in the roles of director of photography and assistant camera person, providing all with extensive set experience. The acting, journalism and animation camps are just as intensive and thorough.

I’m 16 soon to be 17 on august 26th and I’m asking to see if I’m still eligible to attend this program? I also want to know how much is the total cost of every fee to attend this camp/program? I might be late to attend the program this summer but are there any programs for the winter/spring season, or even the summer of 2010? I’m a 16 year old male teenager from the Bronx of New York City just striving to see myself in the filming industry. My dreams of becoming an stunning actor are highly positive when I see the aspects this program has to offer and the great people involved. My final question for now I’ll love to attend the Two-Day Weekend Intensive Digital Filmmaking Workshop but when would these events occur and where do I go to apply? I am looking foward to a response because this can make a great impact on my future, thank you

I’m 16 years old, and have had a passion for acting ever since… well I’m not even sure how long… so this camp would be a great opportunity for me to see how much I can really experiment with acting talent, which is why I’m looking forward to attending next summer! A couple questions I have some of which I can see have already been asked…
I don’t live in New York, so I would need a place for lodging and there doesn’t have a price for that anywhere, so I was wondering how much lodging would be for the 3 week acting program.
Also, would I have a roomate that I would be lodging with in the hotel?
Thank you so much in advance, and hopefully I’ll get these questions answered! Can’t wait for summer of 2010.

I’m 15 years old and will be 16 in the summer, My parents are divorced and Me and my mom have very little money. I am curious if you have any kind scholarship-like program. I have loved films since I was a kid and film making is the very first thing I’ve ever been serious about, so I’d really like to know if there is any way I could attend the 6 week summer film and digital program.

Hi, I am currently 17 years old and have finally decided that it’s time to act upon what I have been wanting for several years now. I am extremely interested in attending a 3 or 4 week summer program. I will still be 17 in the summer and was wondering if I would be eligible. I was also wondering if there was a scholarship program of any sort. If not, how much would it cost for the program along with room and board for 3 or 4 weeks? One more thing, does it matter if I don’t have much experiance?
Hope you can answer my questions soon. Thanks!!

I am currently 16 years old and have come across this opportunity as a recommendation from my Advanced Drama teacher. I am interested in your 3-4 week summer program as I am also interested in attending one of your acting schools after I graduate. I only have a couple of questions. One, how much does the entire camp cost? And do they offer financial aid for anything? Second, does it matter on looks or height/weight/etc.? And third, do you need acting experience. I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you so much.

I am currently 16 years old and have dreamed to pursue an acting career since I was in 6th grade. I was interested in participating in the teen acting camp in the summer at Yale University for one week if not 3. How much would the food and housing cost? Are there any other requirements in terms of an application or prior experience?
I am happily anticipating your response!
Thank you!!
