??? The peanut slave, I mentions is made by Wein specifically for the Vivitar 283/285 strobes it cost $25-30. The light from the flash tethered to the camera fires it. Since the camera the original poster mentioned doesn't have a pc connector he would have to get one of those hot foot to hot shoe cables. Almost any of them will work for manual flash. Dedicated flash requires the correct one for your camera.
No filters would be needed for negative film as long as the makeshift studio is a fairly neutral color. Just as they would not be needed for on camera strobe, nor would they be needed for Studio Strobes. Hot lights would require a filter, or tungsten film. But, of course, my main point was he doesn't have to go out and spend big bucks to get started.
