TESTIMONIALS
from the parents
Peter S.
"We were completely blown away by
the high level of instruction, mentoring that Kristi, Sam and Erika provided these girls. To go from concept to completed short in 2 weeks while helping each girl find their own voice exceeded all expectations for what a program like this could achieve."
from the cast
Hannah E.
"The material and the operation of the entire camp was top notch. As an actress I was incredibly moved by the scripts the girls wrote. True, heart felt and impactful stories that were carefully crafted and executed. The guidance and skill they provided I know is invaluable to these campers."
Mila M.
from the campers
"Shoot Like A Girl has deepened my passion for filmmaking. To be taught by women, work alongside women and shoot my film with women...just being in the atmosphere with Honey Head I felt comfortable and empowered. Because of this experience I have the tools to continue."
