Fantastic Birds & Where to Find Them Campers brainstorming their film for Raptors of the Silver Screen camp. Photo by Michele Miller Houck.About this imageWhat I do like is hiking. And that's what filmmaking is. It's a hike. It's challenging and exhausting, and you don't know what the terrain is going to be or necessarily even which direction you're going in... but it sure is beautiful. – Joss Whedon Fantastic Birds & Where to Find Them Camp – June 12-16 - CAMP FORMS ARE NOW DUE.
