The Goettler Family Film Academy
Our Film Academy is possible due to the generosity of the Goettler Family.
This Academy runs parallel to our Theatre Stream (Stage) by educating students ages 13-17 in live film with curriculum and specialized workshops by film industry professionals.
From scriptwriting and directing to filming and editing will allow them to participate in life through a medium that has kept them engaged in the world they are a part of. It is in fact, a part of their daily life, and they understand that there is value and power in learning to use it.
This new Yellow Door Theatre Project film stream is the first of its kind in the Niagara Region!
