Calling all budding Steven Speilbergs and Martin Scorseses: Spend the summer creating your own films at IncrediFlix.

IncrediFlix is children’s film camp based in California. Tobin Felfe, co-founder of the camp, studied film in college and worked in Hollywood for a year. He says he felt that the jobs were more business-driven rather than creative, so he co-founded IncrediFlix 10 years ago. Felfe is bringing the concept to the East Coast, and the camp is now expanding its programs across the Greater New York area.

Most camps run for one week and meet Monday through Friday. Programs are offered 9am- 12pm and 1 -4pm. Programs offered include Lego Flix in which kids build a set using Legos and create a movie using stop- motion animation, and Imagination Flix, in which kids create clay characters and film in front of a green screen.

“The kids go through the whole movie- making process with us except for editing,” Felfe says. “So in the end, they are the kids’ movies because the kids are actually doing everything with our guidance.”

The kids complete task such as creating props and costumes, directing, acting, and filming the movies. For example, in Animation Flix, kids illustrate the backgrounds and characters, do the voiceovers, and film as a group. Group range from four to nine kids, depending on the camp. At the end of the camp, each child gets a copy of movie they helped create.

The camps run from June 29-Sept. 4 for kids ages 7 – 13. Registration is now open. IncrediFlix will be held at JEI Learning Center, 7721 18th Ave., in Bensonhurst. For more information, visit incrediflix.com or call 201-331-3306. –Samantha Neudorf
