TRAILER

BEHIND THE SCENES

The camp started with some classroom time with Norton explaining various aspects of filmmaking.  Then the students had hands-on lab time to try out what they learned in the production of a short film.  They read through several scripts written by students, and selected John’s Miracle, written by Dave Shaver, to produce.  Norton walked the students through the pre-production process of scene breakdowns, casting actors and selecting crew, and then the last two days were spent shooting.  The film is currently in the final stages of post production.
