About Barrett’s Studio
Barrett’s Studio started with a simple idea: kids learn filmmaking and animation best when the lesson is actually about the thing they want to make, not a fixed curriculum built for a classroom of twenty. Every lesson happens one-on-one, with professional tools scaled down to a kid-friendly pace. With a background of over 12 years teaching video & animation in Massachusetts, Barrett offers a premium, one-of-a-kind lesson designed specifically for the student.
