Make Your Own Comedy Film (CSC170)

Laugh your way into summer as you create your own comedy short film!

What will you learn on this course?

On this three-day camp, young people will learn about comedy movie storytelling, specialising in mockumentary. Think of iconic funny fake documentaries like The Office, What We Do In The Shadows or This Is Spinal Tap.

Working as a group, participants will take part in writing, acting and filming to create their short comedy film. The course will explore scriptwriting, production and editing using MAC and the surrounding area as a backdrop.

Participants will be sent their film following completion of the course.

This course is delivered by Cassiah Joski-Jethi, an award-winning writer and director for stage and screen.
