Magic Hour Creative: The hub for video production and education

Magic Hour Creative is a filmmaking hub in Pittsburgh — part youth program, part creative studio, and part event space. We create videos, podcasts, and digital media while giving young and emerging artists the space, tools, and support to bring their ideas to life.

🎬 Welcome to Magic Hour Creative

Founded in June 2025, we launched Magic Hour Academy’s 101 and Crew Club, giving students hands-on experience in filmmaking, storytelling, and collaboration. Now we’re building on that momentum with new workshops, productions, and events.

Magic Hour isn’t just about our dream — it’s about helping others chase theirs. Whether you’re picking up a camera for the first time, looking for mentorship, or searching for a creative team to bring your vision to life, this is where ideas shine and the credits never roll.

Join Magic Hour Academy!

101 and Crew Clubs Starting on 1/12/2026

Magic Hour Academy is now YEAR-ROUND! Join anytime and stay as long as you like.
Memberships are available for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or a full year—each with discounted pricing.

We want everyone to be able to participate! If you need support with cost, just reach out—no one will be turned away for financial reasons!
