Astor Academy Filmmaking Club

Program Starts: Monday, September 21, 2026

Attention Young Filmmakers!

Filmmaking Club was started by Kyle Smyth in 2024. We were very excited to have Dan Williams join us soon afterwards. Our club members make original short films and take their projects from screenwriting, editing, production planning, cinematography, directing, and editing to get them to the final product.

This group has created 6 original group films: Nightmare on Film Street, Unhinged Christmas, The Movbee, Hells Bells, DropBears, Evan Burger’s Last Stand.

Many of our club members submit their films to the AIFF Youth Film Competition. In previous years, we have had several finalists from our club. We have also had two films tie for the People’s Choice Award in 2025 – Easton Goodwin’s Past Echoes and Desmond Smyth’s November Moon.

We also do two Astor Academy Film Festivals per year, where your child will be able to present their movies on the Astor BIG screen.

This is a free program for high school-aged students.

The club runs Mondays from 6pm to 8pm.

Space is limited; register at boxoffice@astortheatre.ns.ca today!
