Happy Tenth Anniversary to Our Fabulous, COO Tracy Anderson!

Through her smarts, experience, loyalty and hard work, The Movie Institute has grown and accomplished so much.

Now we embark in confidence into a new chapter of community service in 2026 with Tracy helping to plan, execute and keep all the balls in the air.

Founder Keith Duncan and Co-Founder Martha Duncan speak for everyone working with the Movie Institute when we say "thank you, Tracy for all that you do. We are deeply grateful and fortunate".

Here's to 10 more!

Like to find a team building activity that is fun, but also has training about your product or service?

Why not have a moviemaking experience that is fun and spotlights what your company does created by your own employees at a real production studio?

Plus the cost goes to help young people train for their own future.

Where can you get more information about this?

From the 25-year-old motion picture nonprofit The Movie Institute! Www.movieinstitute.org.

🎬 Why spend the summer sitting at home watching movies when you could be making your own?

Our innovative moviemaking Kamp Hollywood is a week-long, full-day experience where students learn the art of acting and film production through a hands on, real world approach. Participants collaborate with peers and learn directly from industry professionals while creating their own film projects.

Join us this July for our 26th annual hands-on filmmaking summer camp. No prior experience required just creativity and a passion for storytelling.
