Crystal Creek Media ran a Film Camp tour that traveled the U.S. and put on camps in a dozen states from California to Virginia. The live event featured a number of challenging lectures and included hands-on experience in the art of filmmaking. It covered the theological foundation for Christian art, the rapidly changing marketplace, and technical aspects of filmmaking.

“I’ve read over the materials about this new film camp and thought, ‘What a fantastic idea!’ My wife Danielle and I have known the Knudsens for more than 15 years and have been so pleased to see them exercising their passion for the things of Christ by engaging the culture of film-making. I fully expect that this film camp will provide a high energy, creative way for home-school students to learn discernment, creativity, and hard work while focusing on how to share their own stories as part of God’s Great Story.”- Dr. Jeff Myers

“I had the privilege of working with Daniel Knudsen and Crystal Creek Media as an actor in the film Creed of Gold. The production was organized, well run, and quite a lot of fun. If you want to learn about film making, I would encourage you to learn from this group!”- Dr. Jay Wile

“Nearly 1 and 4 homeschool young men I meet have an interest in film production, which is really exciting considering the future affect they will have on our culture for the glory of God. I am excited about the role Film Camp will play in inspiring this next generation of cinematographers on a local level and believe that this will be a hot commodity at conferences.”- Woody Robertson

Film Camp 2012 will offer a low-cost opportunity for homeschooled students to get practical first-hand knowledge from a team experienced in creating films from a Biblical worldview."- Israel Wayne
