Wednesdays and Thursdays (students must attend both days):

Grades 3-5, 2:30-4:00

​

Lights, camera… action! 🎬

 

In this after-school film program,(sponsored by Kids TV), creativity takes center stage as students bring their ideas to life through their very own television show, BB TV (Bethel Buccaneer Television).

Guided by local filmmakers, students will learn the secrets behind the camera, including how to shoot dynamic footage, set up lighting, manage a film crew, and produce a show from start to finish. They’ll also step into the spotlight—developing on-camera confidence through acting, interviewing, and reporting as they create their own original segments.

 

Meeting twice a week, students will collaborate to plan, film, and edit their projects—bringing fresh ideas to life and preparing for the next big episode. By the end of the semester, they won’t just understand how TV works—they’ll have created multiple shows of their own to share and celebrate.

 

Get ready to tell stories, work as a team, and become part of the BB TV crew! 🎥✨
