14 Pews Film Academy makes films on Houston artists, while teaching the art of filmmaking.  This summer we will be teaching several filmmaking workshops to teens.  And we are ecstatic that the documentaries created in our school will have their World Premiere at the Houston Cinema Arts Festival in November 2017.  For our summer documentary workshops we are highlighting Houston artists: Jesse Lott and the Mydolls.
