Facets is a non-profit organization that encourages people to see films not just as entertainment but as empowerment. Facets believe films can bridge cultural gaps, teach digital literacy, and spark meaningful conversations.

They hold filmmaking camps for children, including face-to-face camps, online camps, and hybrid camps.

Kids ages 8 to 13 can join the Film 101 camp, which teaches fundamental concepts and the history of film. There is also Zoom Filmmaking which covers story development all the way to editing. They also offer several other programs that cover digital animation and further help with improving editing skills.

Kids ages 14 to 17 can take advanced courses in photography, filmmaking, and advanced editing using Adobe Premiere.
