Heights Middle School Shorts is a three-week arts camp where Cleveland Heights and University Heights middle school students learn to express themselves creatively through the medium of film. Guided by local professionals experienced in filmmaking, writing, acting, and facilitating youth creative expression, HMSS campers learn storytelling as they write short stories which turn into short films. Each camper is an integral part of a production team that writes and produces its own film.
