West Side Studios is a free digital filmmaking program for teens. Join us to bring your ideas to life on the big screen! You’ll learn how to make a short film from start to finish, from story development and script writing to filming and editing with professional equipment. You’ll also learn how to work as a member of a film crew, and you’ll build skills and experience that will prepare you for a job in the film or television industry.  Finished films are screened at festivals like the Buffalo International Film Festival!
