Student filming on Texas State University Main Campus

Enrollment is capped at 15 students. Limited seats available. 

The Online Filmmaker Studio provided by EIF INDUSTRY is an online high school summer course where students will produce a short film and receive professional guidance and feedback.

As a part of the TXST Pre-college Summer Intensive Series, this course guides students through structured filmmaking modules, production workflow, and faculty critique. Participants develop a completed short film utilizing Smashcut software while learning revision techniques and professional presentation standards. 

Throughout the four-week program, students work independently within a guided framework and receive meaningful professional feedback.
