CAMP LOCATION: We are located at the School of Film & Media Arts at Cleveland State University, which occupies the 6th floor of the Idea Center building at Playhouse Square in downtown Cleveland.

The studio was designed by VAA Architects and Bastien and Associates – Bastien’s prominent design and building projects include Manhattan Beach Studios and the Marion Knott Studios at Chapman University – and features state-of-the-art teaching laboratories, digital editing bays, and a vast inventory of professional production equipment.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: During the in-person summer camps, students see behind the scenes and learn how the film industry actually works through special guest lectures and site visits to real-world media environments. Outside of class, residential students get a preview of college life by staying in Cleveland State University dorms and experiencing Cleveland’s robust cultural offerings through scheduled trips and activities.
With access to the film school’s professional soundstages, Mac editing labs, and vast inventory of film production equipment, expert instructors aided by CSU film student camp counselors help students hone their skills while finding their creative community and making friends during these activity-packed experiences.
Lessons are taught by School of Film & Media Arts faculty and staff with assistance by current CSU film school students in the role of camp counselors and production assistants. There is one instructor and one film student counselor for every ten campers, plus additional production assistants.
All meals are provided for residential students and breakfast and lunch is provided for day camp students.
