With video cameras now on phones and editing software that costs in the thousands of dollars only a few years ago now free, the world of film is available to everyone at every age.
That point was made clear a few months ago when 12-year-old Jean Pierre, who attended the FLAG Camp hosted by the Cambridge SDA Church, produced his own short film, The Yawndemic, as a parody of the COVID pandemic. The short was not only a hit in Jean’s community, but he came away with the Best Comedy Award from the Chesapeake Film Festival last year.
Not a bad start for the young filmmaker.
