The T Tauri Movie Camp is accepting registrations for its 12th annual summer youth program, which takes place July 18 through 30 in Batesville. Launched in 2005, T Tauri has offered a wide variety of video production workshops for aspiring filmmakers up to the age of 18. Workshops range from two to three and a half days in duration.
The 2016 Movie Camp offers four workshops: Script to Screen Narrative Filmmaking, Home Town Documentary, Depicting Zombies, and a new offering, BrickFilms (stop motion animation utilizing LEGO characters). Workshop fees range from $60 to $100, based on the length of the workshop. T Tauri workshops are taught by experienced filmmaker/educators and the student to teacher ratio is 6 or 7 to 1. All supplies and equipment are included in the tuition cost.
The T Tauri Movie Camp is not a residential program. Students and their parents or chaperones from outside the Batesville area are encouraged to take advantage of a discounted rate at the Batesville Comfort Suites Hotel; ask for the Movie Camp rate for reservations made before July 5. In addition to the workshop sessions, the T Tauri experience also includes an official T Tauri t-shirt and a Finale Screening on the evening of Saturday, July 30. The Finale Screening is free and open to the public and showcases all of the films created in the current year’s workshops.
