- Hawai’i Women in Filmmaking offers Reel Camp for Girls. This is a one-week long filmmaking program where participants, working with real equipment, write, direct, edit, and produce a short film on social justice issues. The Reel Camp for Girls is a brave, safe and creative space and time where girls (cis, trans) and gender-expansive, non-binary, gender non-conforming youth, unleash their creativity, build confidence, and initiate a long-term individual transformational journey from passive recipients of content that others create, to active creators and makers of their own stories – stories that need to be heard and seen. All programs are for cis, trans girls, gender-expansive, and non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centers on the experiences of girls/women. Age 12-19.
