Testimonials

Trained film students in different crafts, be it Direction, Cinematography, Editing or Acting, are somehow not able to reach the target group of producers and production houses. The primary reason for this, could be the non-availability of a proper, credible platform to showcase their talent, which will also be easily accessible to such producers and Directors. This one stop solution could bring these related groups of the same profession closer to each other.
