About Our Classes:

The Riekes Center Film Department offers students the fantastic opportunity to make movies in a fun, challenging and creative environment. Students learn the entire process of movie making--from conceptualization and story development to story boarding and visualizing the project, to production and shooting the movie, and finally editing together a polished project. The students will become familiar with the video camera and the editing software by using them in guided exercises and through experimenting with their own creativity. From this foundation, we will facilitate the students in creating the movies they want to see.
