Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Fill the week with action, adventure, and a lot of comedy with Film Camp in A Box movie making camp. Mentored by master filmmakers, campers will engage in hands-on exploration of the filmmaking process, including pre-production, production, and postproduction. Working in small crews, they will learn about cinematography, script writing and editing. Campers will then create, act in, and edit a short film and movie trailer. Participants will have the opportunity to use technology, including MacBooks, 4K cameras, tripods, boom microphones, green screens, and an aerial drone! At the end of the week, movies will be presented at the red carpet, popcorn film festival and archived in the Film Camp in a Box digital theatre.

Features:
  • use of high tech equipment
  • hands-on activities
  • mentored by master filmmakers
  • collaborative use of technology
