Whether you are just starting out or looking to refine your skills, the SFA aims to give you the behind-camera experience as a director to help you produce a quality production as a Member of the Summer Film Project team. SoCal Film Academy participants work together in teams to create short films.  The production teams will allow members to become familiar with the varying aspects of filmmaking, including directing, producing, editing, acting, writing and working on the production crew. Teams work with quality equipment and gain practical experience.

Crews assign roles and create projects from conception to storyboarding to script writing to shooting to editing to screening.  Each team creates a professional quality short film production and screens it at the end of the session, readies for a big red-carpet premiere, and the SFA submits each short to multiple film festivals. Finally, experience your big Red Carpet Premiere at the 2011 SoCal Film Festival as part of the official screening program at this year's prestigious event in September.
