Our Story
Every summer, Camp Mark Seven hosts our annual Deaf Film Camp usually in late July/August. The Deaf Film Camp is designed primarily for 13 – 16 year old aspiring young filmmakers, regardless of prior experience. For two weeks, each young filmmaker, mentored by Deaf experts, will write, produce, direct, and edit film in digital video format. This accelerated schedule will provide critical skills including accountability, creativity, and responsibility. Whether working independently or in collaboration with others, campers from last several summers have had consistently demonstrated they are capable of producing outstanding work! The Deaf Film Camp dream team collectively has over 40 years of filmmaking experience. Many have received training from accredited programs and others have their own photography, production, and video animation businesses. These Deaf Film Camp dream team leaders are from the United States, Paris, London, and Cape Town, South Africa. The deaf young filmmakers have unlimited access to these mentors, who are able to guide them through the two-week fast paced program of project development. Because of the feverish pace of this two-week program, each camper will experience and chronicle nature at its best with GoPro cameras during a multitude of activities in and around our stunning lakefront! Each weekday is split between morning in-class instruction, fun outdoor activities in the afternoon, and editing and telling stories at evening bonfires! Through hands-on demonstrations and class playback discussions in the camp’s beautiful outdoor environment, the young filmmakers will learn camera movement and angles, film language, visual elements, and editing strategies working with Final Cut Pro, the most sophisticated film software available. Each young filmmaker will rotate through principal film crew positions, including director, in a series of films. The young filmmakers meet on a daily basis with their team leader to engage in script review and review pre-production plans. Another tradition that the Deaf Film Camp is continuing is the Green Carpet Night on the last night! Campers' final films will be showcased at the Strand Theatre in Old Forge, New York, and the parents always experience the sheer exhilaration of seeing campers' completed projects and music video on the big screen with their families, and friends on the big night!
