SeriesFest’s education programs ignite creativity and build skills in students from 5th grade through college. Integrated partnerships with schools and community centers have shaped our programs, ensuring each curriculum is organized, intentional, and impactful.
Through immersive educational experiences like the Mobile Cinema Lab and Collegiate Fellows Program, we’re empowering the next generation of storytellers and audiences, fostering curiosity, craft, and a deeper understanding of what makes great television.
Mobile Cinema Lab
These small group sessions foster creativity and provide hands-on technical instruction foundational to careers in film, television, and media. Programs are fully packaged and flexible to the scheduling needs of your school or community center.
