OFF Academy

The OFF Academy is a two-day educational outreach intended for middle and high school students to learn the process of filmmaking from industry professionals.

Pre-registered students will receive an OFF Academy badge which will grant them access to all of the OFF Academy panels as well as all Omaha Film Festival screenings.

The three main pillars that the Academy is built on are
ENTERTAINMENT | EDUCATION | INSPIRATION.

With industry professionals from across the country the two-day sessions will give students an inside look at screenwriting, acting, auditioning, cinematography, film lighting, editing, producing, and directing and will include hands-on interactive workshops targeting students in the disciplines they’re most interested in.

Get in touch with your teacher if you’re interested in participating in this year’s OFF Academy or send us an email at omahafilmfestival@gmail.com

“The OFF Academy is something I know students will take with them into their futures; This is an experience that will shape them and they will remember. It’s been extraordinary.” — Anne Albrecht, Educator
