Our First-Year filmmaking students are all set to begin their “Hyderabad Chapter” a tour where they’ll learn a lot, laugh even more, and definitely run out of storage space on their phones.
From exploring iconic film studios to arguing about which camera angle is “more cinematic,” this trip will give them real-world lessons that no classroom can offer. And of course, there will be those legendary tour moments; missed alarms, last-minute packing, dramatic retakes, and friendships that feel like perfectly timed montages.
By the time they return, they’ll have new skills, new stories, and at least 2000 photos none of them will ever delete.
Our mentor and creative director Abhijit Panse is coming again to Pune with the legendary show Ghasiram Kotwal on 15 November. At Balgandharva Rangmandir Auditorium. Show starts at 12:30. Book your tickes now on Book my show.

Some say filmmaking is about creativity, passion, and vision.
We say… it’s about sleepless nights, 17 cups of chai, lost scripts, broken tripods, and random existential crises at 3AM.
From shouting “ROLLING!” to “WHO TOOK MY SD CARD AGAIN?!”, this team turned chaos into cinema and pain into art.
Here’s to the students who survived on adrenaline and Vadapav. You didn’t just make a film, you made history (and dark circles).
