In the magical realm of New Hampshire, also known as the Granite State, there exists a tribe of extraordinary children, fondly referred to as the Mini-Spielbergs. These aren't your ordinary kids, oh no! These are young wizards and witches, who can weave stories so enchanting, they could make unicorns weep. Using their mystical talents, they conjure tales of mystical forests, superheroes with peculiar powers (like Fartman, who can, well, you get the picture), and grumpy yet lovable granite boulders who yearn to travel. Imagine a state where mountains play peek-a-boo with clouds, where lakes shimmer like a mermaid's scales, and where the autumn leaves blaze like a dragon's breath. That's New Hampshire! Here, the Mini-Spielbergs romp through sweet maple forests, climb the mighty Mount Washington and explore the depths of the vast Lake Winnipesaukee, constantly gathering inspiration for their magical tales. Every so often, they gather in their mystical sanctum, the "Filmmaker's Fortress", armed with cameras, scripts, and enough imagination to make a rainbow blush. Together, they brew fantastic films, each one a unique potion of laughter, adventure, and heartwarming tales. Their leader, a jolly fellow named Professor Popcorn, often quips, "Why call it New Hampshire, when it's clearly New Hollywood?" With a belly full of giggles and a hat that occasionally burps out movie ideas, this eccentric character guides the Mini-Spielbergs on their filmmaking journey. So, if you ever find yourself in the enchanting land of New Hampshire, remember to keep an eye out for the Mini-Spielbergs and their lively leader, Professor Popcorn. And who knows? You just might stumble upon the next blockbuster film being made right in your backyard!

We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are.
