Trop Jr Masterclass 1

The Trop Jr Masterclass series is a set of short, practical virtual sessions designed to support young storytellers and the educators who work with them. Across the series, Trop Jr finalists unpack their films and share how they turned an idea into a finished screen story. Participants are then guided through a hands-on approach to making a short film scene using accessible techniques, Trop Jr education resources and everyday materials found around the house or classroom.
