Calling all mini movie-makers and puppet pros. In this playful, skill-building series, young creators write and direct digital shorts, experiment with stop-motion animation (yes, bring your favorite toys), and design handmade puppets ready for their screen debut. Along the way, students learn storytelling basics, camera and lighting techniques, and how to collaborate like a real production team.

The residency wraps with a celebratory showcase where students share their creations and take a well-earned bow. Parents are welcome to attend or participate.
