Applications are open now for two free filmmaking opportunities for high school students on Maui.

This winter, Hisako Film Lab and Fuzz Box Productions are partnering to offer Fuzz Box Film Camp, a six-week program from Nov. 11 to Dec. 17 at Fuzz Box headquarters in Lahaina.

The camp will give students hands-on experience in every stage of filmmaking-from writing and directing to editing and screening their short films at a red-carpet premiere. The program is open to Maui students in grades 9-12.

The extended application deadline is Nov 3. For more, www.hisakofilmlab.com.

Also, Hisako Film Lab and Maui Huliau Foundation are partnering this spring to offer a free advanced filmmaking program for high school students passionate about storytelling and social impact.

Students will receive mentorship from local filmmakers and guest speakers. The program is open to Maui students in grades 9-12, and meets on Mondays and Wednesdays in Central Maui. For more, go to www.hisakofilmlab.com.
