Sheridan High School students Ruth Quero and Mason Reid participated in Film Camp this summer hosted by Joey Travolta and several other veterans of the film industry. Earlier this month, they attended the Film Camp Premier to debut the films they created at camp. Both are students in Ms. Dammann's Transition class.
Participants learned about career opportunities in the film industry and learned skills associated with the film industry and video production. Over the course of one week, students learned to use industry equipment as well as everyday technology to develop and produce short films.
Let's support our Yellowjackets! Go Jackets!
