The star-studded team behind "The Last Black Man in San Francisco" is returning to the city by the Bay for the first time to teach the next generation of Bay Area filmmakers how to make their own great San Francisco movie. Under the tutelage of these industry-leading professionals, students will get hands on experience as they turn their city into a short film that will premiere at the historic Roxie Theatre.

This is the kind of next-level summer camp the Bay Area deserves but seldom gets.

Joe Talbot and Jimmie Fails began their filmmaking careers as kids right here in San Francisco, starting with minimal resources. They transformed their connection to the city into a Brad Pitt-produced, Sundance winning film, which garnered love notes from Wes Anderson and an international theatrical release by A24.

Now, through 48 HILLS, they aim to inspire local youth to tell their own authentic San Francisco stories.

48 HILLS, 24 FRAMES is an immersive filmmaking summer camp designed for Bay Area youth aged 15 and older. Over three weeks, students learn from acclaimed filmmakers, participate in hands-on film production, and create a short film inspired by San Francisco's vibrant culture. Activities include scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, acting, production design, editing, and composing. An optional fourth week dedicated to post-production allows deeper exploration into editing, sound, music, and color correction.

Your sponsorship directly funds tuition assistance, ensuring a significant number of students from economically disadvantaged Bay Area communities. Your support enables local students to pursue filmmaking, cultivating their talent and empowering them to contribute their voices to the evolving narrative of our city and the filmmaking industry.

Sponsors benefit from association with high-caliber film talent and influential industry partnerships. Our team includes Oscar-nominated artists, acclaimed filmmakers, and leading media professionals, enhancing both the quality of education and the visibility of our sponsors.

Students will learn the fundamental of story telling them will enable them to work in both classical and emerging mediums.

Searching of inspiration in the world around them, developing that into a formal idea, pitching that idea, and learning how to take it from script to screen are life long skills for students.

Through Adobe sponsorship, we will be using some of the most advanced editing software as we teach this next generation of artists. If you're a company developing new technology that can be utilized in film, we're happy to talk to you about ways to fiscally sponsor the camp and potentially teach your product to this next generation.
