Passion for the things you love starts early. Mini Movie Club for ages 5-7 and 8-9, is your family’s chance to become movie stars whilst making your very own short film! In this weekly club, young filmmakers or film stars (plus a parent) will join one of YFA’s professional tutors (live via Zoom), who will guide you through your filmmaking journey.
Each week, in 1-hour sessions, you’ll shoot a new scene using your smartphone, learning secret movie tips and tricks along the way!
At the end of the 5 weeks, one of our team will edit together your short movie, complete with visual effects, titles and music. Then we will send it back to you via a secure link so you can enjoy your masterpiece over and over again!
Mini Movie Club sessions will run on Saturdays for 5 weeks, on the 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th June & 4th July 2020.
Clubs sessions for ages 5-7 will run from 10-11am (GMT + 1)
Clubs sessions for ages 8-9 will run from 11:30-12:30 (GMT + 1)

Dear YFA team, Thank you so much for turning this difficult time into such a positive experience. I was so worried about what to do with the kids when their school closed and they were stuck at home, but over the last four days they’ve had an incredible time learning new skills and were really engaged with the whole filmmaking process. Knowing that we could let them get on with it by themselves was a huge relief. The movie they produced was brilliantly creative (not sure about my cameo though…!) They’re determined to do a music video next, so we will be in touch very soon. Thanks again!
Young Film Academy provided my sons with an excellent week of education and fun. Their short film really surprised us all with its excellent artistic and technical merit – their imaginations have been sparked. Thank you and thank you!
Max and Jake loved the remote course! Max loved it and he learned so much. He is truly passionate about filmmaking and to be able to share what he’s learned so far, have his films professionally critiqued but also to develop his skills was just fantastic – even when it came to sorting critical IT issues 🙂
Thanks so very much to Dan and the team. The boys loved it.
The girls had a lot of fun making their music videos and we all loved watching the final result. The tutor Nathan was great, he had lots of patience and stayed very calm. I thought the remote course was also explained very well.
Jake said it was he best course he has ever done and he is very picky and critical about what he does and doesn’t like. He loved every day!
Young Film Academy courses are excellent for young people. They get a taste of the craft of filmmaking, in all departments and I was astonished by the speed at which they learned.
Milo had a wonderful time and declared the Four-Day Film School ‘awesome’. He really enjoyed every aspect of it from scripting and storyboarding, to performing and editing. The tutors were excellent and the totally hands-on have-a go-approach was not only fun but very effective
I have to tell you that Serena had the BEST time at the course. She was so enthused by it all, and really loved the people and the entire experience. PLEASE let us know when your next London based film camps/courses are!
