8 Signs The Homeschool Film Club is The Perfect Option For Your Teenagers!

Hooray! It’s time to sign up for a new semester of extracurricular classes for your teenage homeschooler! This is a challenge that offers fantastic rewards but can sometimes seem daunting whether you have too many options or too few. 

Aren’t you lucky you landed here at the HeART Collective in Payson – home of the Homeschool Film Club?! This is one of the most unique and wonderful options for teenage homeschoolers from Lehi and Provo down to Santaquin and Mona! We’re all about hands-on creativity, theory and critical thinking, personal exploration, and true industry knowledge. Still, how can you know if this class is right for your student?

Let me help you. Here’s a list of 8 signs your student should be in our film club:

1. They love telling stories: Like all the time. They tell you about their day in detail, they tell you about their friends, they tell you about books they are reading. If you have a natural storyteller on your hands then film club is the perfect place to give their gift of gab direction.

2. They take pictures all the time: Whether they have their own phone or camera, or they ask for yours so they can take pictures – if your student loves visual compositions, film club is the perfect place to explore the craft of cinematography and photography. 

3. They love movies: Every great filmmaker started as a great film watcher! If they have opinions about the movies they watch and an interest in how they’re made we want to feed those interests! Come to Homeschool Film Club!

4. They see things differently: Literally or figuratively, if your teenager has a unique view of the world we believe their voice is incredibly valuable. Homeschool Film Club will give their perspective a place to develop expression!

5. They want to explore new skills: If your teenager wants exposure to new skills NOTHING beats film. Unlike other classes, when you study film you’re exploring nearly every artistic medium in the world. From writing to photography to creating the world in front of the camera or organizing the production behind the camera– there is so much to learn!

6. They like working with other youth: Film is the greatest team sport there is. Every film ever created has required the collaboration of whole teams of people. And here we place great emphasis on learning how to work together to create something better than you could ever create on your own.

7. They love to entertain: If your teenager is a ringleader of funny business, loves to keep everyone happy and laughing, or perhaps has a serious flare for the dramatic– film club is the perfect place for them to actually DO something will all that pent-up talent!

8. They’re really interested in Filmmaking! The crowning jewel of reasons why you NEED to enroll your teenager in Homeschool Film Club! If they have previously asked about film or have shown initiative and taken up a camera for some experimental filmmaking. Clearly, Homeschool Film Club is exactly what you’ve been looking for!

But seriously, whether your teenager has a spark of interest in the world of storytelling through visual media or a burning bonfire of passion for filmmaking, we welcome them to the club!

Homeschool Film Club at the HeART Collective is a place where everyone is welcome to come and discover what they are capable of and just how much fun it is to work super hard to create something with friends.
