When women & girls are better represented behind the scenes, they’re better reflected on the screen. That’s why Reel Stories is training the next generation of female filmmakers. During shelter- in- place, we’ve been hosting weekly virtual filmmaking programs/events & conducted our 1st ever virtual summer program to further support our community.
Below is Reel Stories growing list of 2021 Virtual Programs.
Tuesdays 4-5PM PST, January 26-March 16
Open to: Female-Identifying or Non-Binary, ages 12-18
Join Reel Stories online to learn the basics of filmmaking, including: cinematography, editing, animation, script writing and more!
Students will work alongside other youth filmmakers and professional Reel Stories media teachers to create and pitch a story, and learn how to bring it to life. This program is unique in that you do not have to be based near our offices in Northern California to participate – you can join us from anywhere in the world!
Wednesdays, Feb 10- April 14, 2021 4PM PST

”Thank you for all your hard work! Grace truly enjoyed the entire experience, and she got the opportunity to expand her skills working on a different genre of film. Her self confidence grew because of the camp and she continues to learn how to work with all different kinds of people. Grace will continue to be a part of Reel Stories for a long time to come!
