| Q: |
In what class(es) will my child actually make a movie? |
| A: |
Our focus is hands-on. Each class is oriented to planning, shooting, and editing a movie to completion by the end of the week. The finished work of the class will be compiled onto a DVD and mailed to you after the class is over. |

|
| Q: |
Should my child bring their own video camera or laptop to class? |
| A: |
No, all equipment will be provided. It is helpful to us instructionally when the equipment used in a particular class is all the same format and platform. |
| |
|
| Q: |
My child is advanced for his/her age. Can he/she take an older kid class? |
| A: |
We advise students to enroll in classes that match their age/grade. Our instructors are adept at finding ways for students with some experience to increase their skill level within the class. Feel free to let us know about your child's skill level when you register so we can discuss it with you and notify the instructor. |

| Q: |
We need to miss a class during the week. Is that a problem? |
| A: |
Generally, it is not a problem, though we would not want your child to be disappointed if that day of the week is the one in which much of the active videography will occur. To find out, please check with Registrar Pam Minty, classes@nwfilm.org. |

|
| Q: |
Do you offer anything for kids younger than 4th grade? |
| A: |
At this time we do not. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Is summer the only time you offer these classes? |
| A: |
No, we offer weekend and school break classes during the school year as well. |

|
| Q: |
What's the quickest way for me to get an answer to a specific question not covered here? |
| A: |
Most of the time it is faster for staff to respond via e-mail. Please direct scholarship and general information inquires to Kristin Konsterlie, kristin@nwfilm.org, and registration inquiries to Pam Minty, classes@nwfilm.org |
