Open Call: Join TwMC to make movies with us this summer!
At Teens with a Movie Camera, we believe anyone can be a filmmaker.
All it takes is the camera in your pocket, the imaginative ideas in your mind, and
perhaps the help of your friends & family, or neighbors & communities....
YOU have a voice to share and a story to tell!
Open Invitation for Community Participation
This is an open call for short, imaginative mini-movies submitted by anyone of any age—especially teen visionaries, dreamers, poets, magicians, and other curious explorers of the universe.
Community submissions have a chance to be featured on our website or social media.
Recommendations:
LENGTH: Aim for at least 30 seconds
But avoid longer than 3 minutes.
Your submission COULD be a small story, but it doesn't have to be. It could be a simple moment, an audio recording, a gesture / performance, an animation, or any moving image(s) that you'd like to share.
POTENTIAL TOPICS / PROMPTS,
as starting points for YOUR short movie....
OVERCOMING GRAVITY
What weighs you down? What lifts you up?
KITCHEN TABLE MAGIC
Can you break reality's rules, making magic with everyday items found in your house?Maybe the free app "Stop Motion Studio" can help you...
DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE
What's something you USED to think was impossible in your life... until you did it? Or: what seemingly impossible change in the world do you WANT to come true in the future? Can you visualize this change occuring?
DISPATCHES FROM PLANET EARTH:
You're sending a video into outer space, expressing what's important about your life on Planet Earth. Extraterrestrials who receive your message know nothing of our world and do not speak any human language.
How will you communicate? What will you show them?
Or: Invent Your Own Prompt!
