Testimonials "Young Movie Maker" with Peter Jurt & Claudia Jurt (A.C.T. President) FEEDBACK FROM PAST COURSES! “Young Movie Makers” camp for children held by A.C.T Ottawa was a phenomenal experience. This one week camp was not only enjoyable but extremely educational. I can’t express enough how much fun it was for the children to develop characters and their skills to put on a short movie scene. Every night, my daughter would explain enthusiastically on the experience she had that day. The 2 day filming of their short film was done in the most professional setting. Filming included cameras, lighting, sound, hair, and makeup. Adult professionals from the filming industry assisted in the preparation of the children and the sets for the filming. Professional directors and adult actors helped the children with their characters for their scenes. Play time became real working acting time with serious professionals at the helm and serious adult actors filming alongside the children. Watching, “with extreme silence” out of camera view, you get a real sense of what is involved in filming. Filming and acting at this camp was taken seriously, as a real film needed to be produced in the end. The people responsible for your children over the period of the week ensure that they are entertained as well as improve their skills. I would highly recommend that any parent considering having their child explore the movie/television business participate in one of these camps. My daughter is eleven years old, and I believe this experience to be one of the most memorable highlights of her childhood." Mario Alibrando & Franca Raco, Parents - Summer 2009
