One of the best ways for screenwriters to learn how to write films is to watch plenty of them. There are several film festivals around the world that cater only to kids/teens. Many of them showcase short films written, directed and filmed by kids. Attending film festivals is not only fun but the diversity of genres and subject matter makes them a valuable learning experience for an aspiring young screenwriter. Several film festivals offer workshops and discussions on the process of filmmaking and/or screenwriting.
Below are a few of the festivals made just for kids. Check out your local entertainment calendar for upcoming film festivals in your area.
