A weekend. A theme. A film.
Story Labs is a filmmaking weekend run by teenagers, for teenagers. Get a theme, form a team of three, and make a short film before the weekend's out.
How it works
Show up
Any teenager can join. No experience, no gear, no problem.
Get your theme
Every team starts from the same prompt. Where you take it is up to you.
Make your film
In teams of three, write, shoot, and edit a 1–2 minute short across the weekend.
Screen it
Every film gets shown on the big screen. Every team gets its moment.
Most teenagers who want to make films never get the chance — no crew, no deadline, no room to actually do it. Story Labs is that room. One weekend, a real team, and a finished film with your name on it. Run entirely by teenagers who wanted this to exist, so we built it.
