Project Constellation
Constellation’s annual project pairs professional filmmakers with Bloomington area high school students to create a high-level short film that’s screened in Bloomington and submitted to film festivals nationwide. Students will have the opportunity to shadow all positions of film production, from screenwriter to director to cinematographer, and everything in between. Students will also be able to audition for a number of roles and have the opportunity to perform alongside professional actors.
Filming will take place in February 2025 – exact dates TBA.

Upcoming Events & Workshops
Project Constellation – Acting for the Camera Workshop
This is a free workshop for Bloomington area high school students interested in Project Constellation
Join us for an on-camera acting workshop led by Constellation’s Education Director, Eric Shelley. We’ll focus on the nuances of close-up screen acting through exploration of the technical distinctions between acting for the stage and acting for the screen. Students will learn techniques for creating effective on-camera close-up performances, including modifying vocal projection, gauging the size of gestures and expressions, and maintaining eyeline.
Any students are welcome, and this will be excellent preparation for those who are interested in auditioning for roles in the film this winter! Register to attend using the button below!
