Reviews:
"Being very familiar with local youth media, I know first-hand that TILT is an incredible program. With dedicated and talented staff, a focus on process and critical thinking, and a commitment to accessibility, TILT is a valuable program for youth groups and individual teens.
TILT’s summer camp is located at the prestigious Ninth Street Independent Film Center (home to many of the SF International film festivals) and is likely the best value in the city for both summer camps and film/video training.
The instructors are incredibly experienced and committed to student-centered learning and the administrators are skilled in film production and have extensive backgrounds in education, as well. In short, it is a fantastic program!
