See the Sites, And then Make the Movie!
UK Connection has joined with Location Tours and the New York Film Academy to offer a unique film-filled day of sightseeing and filmmaking!

Students begin the day with On Location Tours New York TV and Movie Sites bus tour where they will visit locations that have been used in more than 60 movies and TV shows that have been shot in New York City. Sites from Friends, The Cosby Show, Spiderman, Hitch, and many others are featured.

TV theme songs and video clips from the actual television shows and movies seen on the tour are part of the overall experience. The second half of the day is a 4 hour film-making workshop at The New York Film Academy where students will get an introduction to each step of the film-making process including, writing, casting, acting, directing, shooting, and editing. Students will break up into groups to work on each aspect of the film. The workshop concludes with the students and staff screening the film.
