PLAY

The Play Studio is a place where technology meets creativity and imagination. A place where anyone can learn to express themselves through multimedia. Discover how to become a filmmaker, record an album, design a movie set or host a podcast. Through classes and community engagement, the Play Studio becomes a place where ideas come to life.  

"Play is the highest form of research." - Albert Einstein

Do you have a project idea?

Studio Community Projects offer FREE access to JUMP spaces and equipment for individuals, groups, and educators to create community-focused, hands-on projects—anything from building a skateboard to producing a podcast or choreographing a dance. We welcome projects with an educational or community engagement focus to inspire others.

The Dreamweaver Film Collective at JUMP 

The Dreamweaver Film Collective is JUMP’s film production initiative to engage people in our community interested in the different elements of film production. The Dreamweaver Film Collective is a series of workshops designed to explore a particular element of film production including screenwriting, filmmaking, production design, postproduction, directing and broadcasting. Participants are coached and encouraged to work together to produce a series of short films based on a common theme. Participation in the Dreamweaver Film Collective is free and open to the public.

Films produced during the Dreamweaver Film Collective will be premiered during the Idaho Film Fair in January. 


STUDIO SOCIALS

Join us for JUMP's STUDIO SOCIAL, a quarterly gathering where Treasure Valley’s creative community comes together to connect, collaborate, and get inspired. Each event features a guest speaker from the local creative scene, sharing their experiences and insights. Whether you're a filmmaker, podcaster, musician, artist, chef, performer, teacher, designer, sound engineer, woodworker, or something else entirely—this is a chance to network with fellow creatives across all mediums.

Explore JUMP’s studio spaces and resources, designed to support a wide range of creative passions. This is a place to spark new ideas, build connections, and dive into your next creative adventure. All are welcome!
