Middletown Arts Center Initiates National Online Script-to-Video Project

By: Community Magazine | April 9, 2020 |  Local , Events |  Middletown

Find yourself with extra time on your hands these days? Ever dream of having professional actors and directors make a movie that YOU wrote? Do you just love to create? Well, you’re in luck!

The Middletown Arts Center has launched MAKE IT TOGETHER! – a free national online script-to-video project. The Arts Center hopes to spark creativity and fun collaborations as this initiative will connect kids, families and individuals with artists and arts organizations to bring their film ideas to life. Submit a short script (up to three minutes or approximately five typed pages in length) and the team of performers, directors and editors will use them (as many as they can) as the blueprints to make outrageous, beautiful, silly masterpieces. Every week, the Middletown Arts Center will pick a simple story situation to get you started.

This is NOT a competition or a place for aspiring playwrights to be discovered. This is a chance for kids and families to interact with some great artists and just make something for the sake of making something – the online equivalent of a rainy day DIY craft project, but you get to make it with pros!
