THE STORY- “THE GLITCH”

Our  students step into a world where reality is beginning to break down —  Awareness begins when  suddenly, a friend goes missing, trapped inside the glitch itself. 

It’s up to the TEAM to work together to figure out what’s happening and find a way to rescue them before reality deteriorates, forever. Will they make it in time?.

THE COURSE

Over 10 weeks, our  young actors  will collaborate to bring a pre-structured sci-fi short film to life by

- Creating Characters

-Brainstorming dialogue to fill in gaps with their personalities

-Envisioning creative details from costumes/make up and beyond

- Learning how a professional film set operates

-Students will act, problem-solve, and make creative choices as they move through each scene of the story to the SURPRISING ending…DUH DUH DUNH.

-The film’s scene framework is set before the class begins, giving students clear direction and ensuring the project is completed on time — while still leaving plenty of room for imagination, performance, and collaboration.

Additional skills learned

-Improv, confidence boosting, acting for camera vs acting onstage, script development, creative ingenuity, 

-Whether behind the scenes or in front of the camera, this course is a great intro to working on set with professional gear, including green screen

-As with ALL KISMET COURSES we are A safe space where Students learn to build Community, Compassion, Creativity, and Confidence

*This class is perfect for youth ages 7 and up, with flexible roles, movement-based learning,  

No previous acting or film experience is required. For those that are interested in a career in Film/TV, they will have the knowledge to begin (or continue) that journey.  

-Clips can be used to create demo reels for those pursuing acting

-iTech skills from slating to setting up lighting and shots (it’s never too early to learn)-We live so close to “Hollywood North” aka Vancouver. We have a lively film/TV industry here on the island with opportunities to work professionally.  Whether the students want to pursue this seriously, or are just in it for the FUN, and building SKILLS, Kismet offers it all.

Upon registration 

Families will receive a shooting schedule and a contract to sign (just like in a professional project).  

*NO DROPOUTS AFTER WEEK ONE

-It is important we stick to this schedule for the overall timeline absences need to be kept to minimum.

- Even if the actor themselves isn't shooting that day they will be helping behind the scenes or in rehearsal for upcoming shoot dates

 - We will be shooting on greenscreen in the studio. No green hair or clothing. Students will be able to see themselves in the environment using a monitor and live switcher. No hair cuts/change in colours/nail colour/tattoos or piercings for the 10 weeks as it ruins what is known as “CONTINUITY”

-Scenes will be developed with characters that students have input in creating to help tell the story
