Event information

MAKE YOUR OWN SHORT FILM: PRACTICAL WORKSHOP - Discover the wonder of short films in this fun and hands-on filmmaking workshop designed for budding young filmmakers!

Led by the creative team at WheelWorks Arts and celebrating On the Pulse 2026’s focus on Short Films, participants will create their own short film as part of a real film crew, learning the foundations of storytelling, editing, and how to bring their ideas to life in short, meaningful films.
