2026 SUMMER CAMPS

Located in Catonsville, Maryland, The Backlot - Film School & Studio is the home to our 2026 Summer Camps and a professional production space that is fun, welcoming, and inclusive to all. Our goal is to showcase, strengthen, and mentor our campers’ unique voices, whether on the page, behind the camera, across the sound mix, or in each cut of the final edit.

Our 2026 Summer Camps provide unique, hands-on, personalized experiences for all our students, regardless of background, interests, or projects. Campers take advantage of our unique production spaces, equipment, computer labs, studio, and sound stages to bring their dreams to life!

As part of a team, led by experienced teachers and expert industry guests, our campers will learn to:

PITCH IDEAS
CRAFT SCRIPTS
STORYBOARD
SHOOT CAMERAS
LIGHT & DRESS SETS
DIRECT ACTORS
CRAFT VISUAL EFFECTS
MIX SOUND
EDIT FOOTAGE
and so much more!
