Lights, Camera, Action! A Day in the Life of Film & Animation Majors
November 7, 2025 | 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Are you a high school student with a passion for film or animation? Whether you’re already experimenting with movie making and animating or you’re simply a curious film or animation buff, we’re hosting an exciting event that provides a glimpse inside of our Department of Film, Video, Animation & New Genres! Join us for a series of hands-on workshops for a taste of what it feels like to get creative at the Peck School of the Arts.
Our mission is to help you develop a creative voice and the technical expertise to express yourself in cinema and transition into the professional world. Our faculty members are all working filmmakers, and you’re invited to meet them and engage in creative exercises with them this fall!
