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.
