Magic Hour is a creative club that gives students like me an opportunity to learn about filming, editing and working with others, while being in a supportive and friendly environment. If this program did not exist I would not have other opportunities to learn like I have been given through Magic Hour Creative. - STUDENT
My personal goal was to learn more about producing and pre-production. I was given the space to learn on my own and mess up and then grow. Now I feel completely comfortable doing it - STUDENT
This is the place to be, it makes me happy! I want to spend all my time here and to share with others. - ADULT CREATIVE
I think funders should support Magic Hour because it is a unique, accepting, and supportive space for teens to pursue their interests in all corners of film. Good film programs are not always available, and those that are either are not very productive or not very personal and accepting. I think magic hour does both -- we get stuff done and make great films, but we also have a great accepting environment and opportunities for everyone. - STUDENT
Excellent. Attractive space for my video podcast - made a great background. - ADULT CREATIVE
Magic Hour Academy | Media Club
Launched in July 2025, Magic Hour Academy is a club-style media hub for high school students (grades 9–12) to explore storytelling, media production, and creative collaboration in a fun, hands-on environment. Our top priority is creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive space, where LGBTQIA+ students and all participants feel comfortable expressing themselves, taking creative risks, and learning without judgment.
At the Academy, students:
-
🎬 Produce Media Projects: Create films, podcasts, journalism pieces, and digital content from start to finish.
-
📰 Contribute to Our News Hub: Cover local events, produce documentary-style segments, and highlight community voices.
-
🎥 Work on Client Projects: Collaborate on real-world media for local organizations, building professional-quality work to add to portfolios.
-
🌟 Learn From Mentors and Media Professionals: Work alongside instructors, local creatives, and experienced volunteers in a supportive, club-style environment.
-
🤝 Collaborate With Other Programs and Outlets: Partner with studios, community media programs, and other outlets to gain exposure, skills, and experience.

🚀 Explore Career Pathways: College-aged participants can engage in internships, apprenticeships, and other professional opportunities to build connections and skills.
-
🛡️ Safe & Welcoming Environment: Carefully vetted mentors and structured guidance ensure every student can focus on creativity, learning, and self-expression.
Magic Hour Academy is interactive, collaborative, and portfolio-focused. Students gain technical skills, confidence, and real-world experience while creating projects they can be proud of and share, from news segments to original podcasts and films. Every participant has the opportunity to shine behind the camera, behind the mic, or in any role they choose, in a space that celebrates individuality, inclusivity, and creative exploration.
