There is no other program in the WORLD like YATC's Winter Film Camp. Over the past six years, our films have made it into 16 Festivals, several awards, and gone on the be screened all over the world. Join us in the Santa Cruz mountains for a week of intensive film making lead by our staff of working professionals. They take a break from their busy lives in Hollywood to come teach our campers exactly what it takes to make it in this industry, supplying them with the tools to become the best artist they can!

We have films of practically every genre - from comedy to horror to documentary to drama - there is a perfect fit for everyone, and YOU get to choose what makes you the most excited!

Once shooting has wrapped and each film is done being edited, each film takes on its own life in the film festival circuit. Because we aren't able to release the short films publicly due to film festival guidelines, YATC hosts its very own Saturday Morning Film Festival to showcase each and every project made at Winter Camp. This gives every camper the opportunity to see their hard work on a giant movie screen in a sold out theater in Livermore, CA. After the Saturday Morning Film Festival, films may take anywhere up to a year after wrapping to release publicly on Youtube because of how in demand YATC shorts are at film festivals around the world. For several years, YATC has premiered shorts at the Cannes Film Festival, one of the most prestigious film showcases in the world. 

AFTER CAMP

Camp short films have earned over 22 MILLION views on Youtube, and have earned laurels, nominations, and awards at countless film festivals internationally, like the Cannes Film Festival's American Pavilion, Outfits, Sidewalk Film Festival, Monarch Film Festival, St. Louis International Film Festival, LGBTQ+ Toronto Film Festival, and dozens of others that were proud to have been part of. Check out a selection of our projects below, and subscribe to our Youtube page to be notified anytime we release a new video.
