KFO Maker Challenge

The Kingston Film Office presents the Maker Challenges!  Led by Queen's University Film & Media students, learn how to create content remotely from the comfort of your home.

Featuring 4 platforms to choose from, you will be guided in a live Zoom session on how to create your own masterpieces using a variety of different freely-available platforms. Register for the information sessions to learn more, with no commitment to participate in the actual Maker Challenges.  Sign-up for as many sessions as you’d like!

At the end of the Juvenis Festival, your work will be showcased to the Community in a live presentation featuring everyone's masterpiece!
