Players Craft Acting Studios presents:
Summer Camps in Las Cruces.
3 camps will be presented for youth in Las Cruces during June and July. The camps, for youth ages 9 to 16, will feature practical training in acting and production of films and commercials. Camps will be led by acting coach and award winning filmmaker Stephen Burhoe. Mr. Burhoe is known for making films with youth actors in leading roles.
All camps have limited enrollment.
Students must bring their own lunch. Afternoon snack will be provided.
*Films and commercials will be produced in class and post production will be discussed and taught. However, post production is so time consuming, presentation of final products (for all camps combined) will be screened at a special screening in August. Date to be announced. Students will receive copies of all work they participated in. All, with the exception of The Let's Make A Movie II Film, will also be posted on our YouTube channel (the reason for not posting the Movie II camp film is because posting on social media disqualifies films from many festivals).
