National Mobile Cinema Lab

Paige Miltenberger · June 8, 2023 ·

SeriesFest is excited to announce that we are taking our Mobile Cinema Lab program national in 2024! With the support of Best Buy, we are headed to Brooklyn, NY and Orlando FL from October 2024 – May 2025. 

Through the generosity of the Best Buy Blue Gives Back Foundation, we were able to take our acclaimed SeriesFest Mobile Cinema Lab program national! Over the course of the summer of 2023 and in partnership with Boys and Girls Clubs, we brought the Mobile Cinema Lab to Chicago, IL, Jersey City, NJ, Elizabeth, NJ, Redlands, CA, and Colorado Springs, CO. The programs were a terrific success that we look forward to continuing.

WHAT IS THE MOBILE CINEMA LAB?

The Mobile Cinema Lab is a traveling program that features up-to-date film and audio equipment and instruction by professional filmmakers. We have a fully developed curriculum that guides students through writing, production, post-production, and more.

If your organization is interested in bringing the Mobile Cinema Lab to your town or region, please reach out to: nicolebarker@seriesfest.com
