Rosebud Summer Film Institute 2026

Outlast Arts and Education hosted our Summer Film Institute for youth from Rosebud Reservation, in partnership with Sicangu Co., Rosebud Boys and Girls Club, and Sinte Gleska University. Students spent the week building filmmaking skills and creating original short films rooted in their own stories.

  • Flex/community building & wellness

  • Basic camera, set etiquette and lighting workshops

  • "Representation Matters" session

  • Visual storytelling foundations & pre-production

  • Editing workshop

  • Production

  • Screening & celebration

Camp Highlights

Beyond filmmaking, students bonded over game nights, restorative sound baths, and tote bag creation — building community alongside craft.

The Ones Who Stayed

  • "My time at Outlast has been filled with compassion and dedication... An opportunity with Outlast is an opportunity with the world."

    — Shaundre, Youth Leader

  • Outlast is a great opportunity for every teenager and preteen... The Outlast camp is also very good because they encourage everyone to dream big and chase those dreams. I love Outlast and can not wait to meet more awesome people through this organization.”

    — Gwen, 14
