Elan Kids — Filmmaking & On-Camera Acting Classes for Kids | Airdrie & Calgary
Bring a film studio to your school.
We pack the cameras, lights, and laptops. You provide the kids. Everyone leaves with a finished film.
What we offer schools
One-day filmmaking workshops
A single day, one class or one grade. Kids learn the basics of filmmaking and shoot a 60-second short by 3 pm. Great for PD days, enrichment days, and end-of-year activities.
After-school filmmaking clubs
A multi-session club hosted on-site at your school — once a week for six weeks, or compressed into a 6-day intensive. Same content as our flagship Filmmaking Crew. We bring the kit.
Morning announcements & broadcast support
If your school runs (or wants to run) a morning announcement broadcast, we'll set it up turn-key: cameras, switchers, training for the student team, and ongoing coaching.
Custom video projects
School promo videos, year-end recap films, drama-club documentation, sports highlight reels — if it involves a camera and your students, we can produce it with them.
How to bring us in
Tell us what you need
A 15-minute call with us. Tell us your goals, timeline, and budget. We'll tell you whether we're the right fit — sometimes we're not, and we'll tell you.
We design the day
We send a one-page proposal with the activity flow, equipment list, photo/video consent forms, and a flat price. No surprises.
We show up & deliver
Day-of: we arrive 60 minutes early, set up quietly, and run the activity. You see your kids light up. We pack out without leaving a trace.
