Home of oldest Fourth of July celebration is movie backlot for Kid Filmmakers
BRISTOL, RI -- The parade floats and marching bands may be gone but the spirit of independence still lingers in Bristol, Rhode Island, nearly one month after its 219th Annual Fourth of July Celebration. Kid Filmmakers, the year-round traveling filmmaking academy for ages 9-17, is declaring a revolutionary week of independent filmmaking from Monday, August 2 thru Friday, August 6. "From its scenic waterfront to its historic architecture, downtown Bristol is the perfect movie backlot for our filmmaking camp," says founder and executive director Eleyne Austen Sharp. "Our camps are working production units and people will see Kid Filmmakers operating the cameras, directing the actors and even writing their own scripts." Following a successful season of filmmaking camps in Newport and Lincoln, the Bristol camp is based at the Colt School auditorium at 570 Hope Street. "Participating filmmakers will attend workshops in acting, directing, makeup, screenwriting, storyboarding and videography," says Sharp. "They'll be shooting a variety of group projects, including a special Kid Filmmakers movie trailer with a patriotic theme." Faculty members are experienced film industry professionals with credits from MGM Pictures, Paramount, Warner Brothers, Dreamworks, Discovery Channel, NBC, PBS, ESPN, TNN, Turner Broadcasting, AOL/Time Warner and more. The cost for the one-week program is $345 per participant ($320 for Kid Filmmakers Club members) which includes a VHS copy of film projects, Kid Filmmakers Club membership card and newsletter subscription, a fun wrap party and free "Gourmet" tickets to attend the summer camp movie premiere at the Flying Popcorn! International Children's Film Festival in Newport on Sunday, February 27, 2005. To register, call (401) 846-9884 or write to: Eleyne Austen Sharp, Executive Director, Kid Filmmakers, P.O. Box 12, Newport, RI 02840-0001 or visit website at www.kidfilmmakers.com.
