Loved Praveen's energy. I had the opportunity to do the Screenwriting program last year. Both the beginner and the master class. And it was absolutely amazing. This one too was on the same level. Thank you Praveen. Cheers to a good class.
The way you teaching and language tone u used
Overall a must do experience for whatever stage in your creative journey you are it you will have something to take away from it
I had an amazing experience at the Forge filmmaking workshop! It truly stood out from other bootcamps because of its hands-on approach, something you can’t find anywhere else. We covered the entire filmmaking process, from writing and directing to cinematography and editing, which gave me a comprehensive understanding of the craft. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, making the learning experience both fun and impactful
The overall experience is really great , amazing and very professional The best is with Forge Team
The way "the forge" provided us the facilities to learn film making was really awesome. They had created a learning environment for us. I will be always grateful to the forge.
The details you shared was very goood, levelup filmmaking is a comfortable space where i can easily learn everything about filmmaking
It's really enhanced my knowledge about filming and it's behind works so far.
The workshop really help me to start my buisness
Basic knowledge was coverd which will improve beginner’s
I just got to know about the basics And that's all I think there's no specific education that can make you film maker or director But yes you must know the basics
I loved the experience and everything about forge .
It was really worth , it really made our foundation strong
The way of explaining the writing terminology with the help of real movie scenes was very good. It really helps us understand the core concept of screenplay and screenwritin.
The workshop gives you the exposure and insights how to get started on making a shortfilm which helps people get practical experience and learn alot.
The mentors have been diligently well in what they talked about. The learning curve was with smooth pace and managed to mention decent professional points. Cheers to Light and Wisdom
Honestly speaking I joined because Z conducting writer's exam. I want to learn how to begin, write, conflict comes goal etc. Praveen given the treamondus lesson. Thanks..If I will select will come back for more depth..
The workshop was amazing, at par with my expectations. It felt like a guidance wrapped in creative thinking with zeal and excellent command over teaching. It is not easy to keep up the pace when so many minds are constantly nagging with the ideas, as stories and storytelling is a work of perseverance. I really appreciate Avinash for his positive and warm introductory session to cheer up the room and get everyone ready for learning, and ofc Praveen for his efforts throughout the session. I would say the way he took command over to explain every reference in the movie scenes were impeccable and I would really wish to learn that from him. For the love of stories and storytelling. Best wishes to everyone
A perfectly planned event, good atmosphere to learn and apply it live. Hands on experience and great guidance.. Its a lovely opportunity to meet the people who has the same passion as yours and get connected. Must have experience.. Don't miss it.
It was the amazing experience of my life where we have feel or learn the vivid picture of cinematography
Forge was simple amazing. The whole team felt like a family for a week and the mentors guided us really well. I loveddd planning the whole film from start to end and was really happy with the end result. This would not have been possible without the amazing guidance we got. <3
It was wonderful experience as I got to know so many people
Experiential learning at its best. If you want to learn how to produce good level of video content and gain an understanding of what it takes to make something, Forge is an excellent medium to learn.

I had a really great time in this workshop, got to know a lot of details about filmmaking which I didn't knew before. It gave me a clarity about the craft, earlier I only had cluttered Ideas but now I'm pretty clear.
Levelup's this filmmaking workshop is really a great first to step to look into if you are interested in filmmaking, the reason being is they breakdown the whole filmmaking into detailed information and with examples.

The information that was explained to us was very detailed and informative. Will definitely be looking forward to more sessions like this one.
Today session I like very much thanks to level up team
introduction to valuable AI tools for the creative tasks
How AI can be used and the different models that can be utilized.
Shashwat was amazing in breaking down the step-by-step process. Appreciate all the resources.
It's good for those who are completely new to screenwriting. Those who already have some background in cinema studies, screenwriting and film application - they might find it to be too basic or peripheral. However, not all the basic concepts are touched upon in these 2 hours. Maybe they could have a longer session of 3-4 hours to touch upon every basic concept. For those inclined for a deeper understanding, they have provide an offer to subscribe to their Screenwriting Mastery course with more than 50% discount (INR 4999).
The quality you guys provided to us are immensely appreciated and helpful. As a beginner, you guys helped a lot and guided how to move on in a structured way. Thank-you soo much.
Very helpful for my filmmaking career...

I really loved attending the session, it was really insightful even though it was only a 2 hour session.Got to learn a lot from the wonderful mentor and I am really looking forward to the advanced session.Thank you so much.
I believe the terminologies are the most important things to be looking at as a beginner. The course has provided the same. However, Its clear that Mastery class is necessary to understand concepts in depth. The basic program generally would be a marketing program for the master class.
It's really a great and useful workshop and this was my first experience attending workshop session i learnt more things about screen writing today and mentor explanation was clear and good with better related examples
My intention was to understand what goes into screenwriting and that was very well achieved.
I loved the way our Mentor explained complex theories/concepts in a way that even an amateur writer like me was able to understand in a crystal clear way.
The structured way it was organised and the sharing of experience
i learnt a lot of things which i didnt knew or wasnt clear about it, i gained lot of knowledge which i couldnt have known in any other sites or youtube, thanks for this wonderfull class
I absolutely loved the way a director came onto the platform to teach us the various aspects of filmmaking. A lot of these programs have internal mentors who teach and most of the time, there is no credibility. Brutal, I know, but that's true. So, seeing an expert conduct the session gives us a foundation and that was commendable. Loved that about this workshop.
Really enjoyed the Basics of Short Filmmaking Workshop! The sessions were simple, practical, and gave me a clear idea of how to approach filmmaking. Glad I joined in – definitely worth it.
I love the step by step explanation of the basic. From finding inspiration to premise to script writing, then Pre production, MISE EN SCENE, Production and post production etc.
Everything Mr Rahul taught us was crisp and clear
The amount of exposure and confidence provided
The way teachers teaches us everything about a film with many examples, which cleared everything very smoothly.
Good and insightful about Director's role in a short duration
Very comprehensive course, easy to understand
I loved the workshop! The best part for me was how the instructor explained. Their passion and real-world examples made everything so clear and interesting. I left feeling truly inspired and confident. I highly recommend this to anyone.
It was great the whole workshop just gives a push in into the world of filmmaking and gets us known with the prospects of filmmaking through the lens of a director and trust me if you don't know anything about filmmaking then this program is a perfect choice for you.
I just hope you keep doing this kind of beginners workshop. It is really helpful. Was a good session
I as a photographer, coming to film making journey, this workshop is all I need.. cheap but perfect. Thank you for all the information n insights.
Nice teaching loved the way he explained and good
I genuinely enjoyed the workshop and learnt alot. Kudos to Praveen and the whole team.

Everyone who are willing to direct movies and write the stories, this is the place where you gain more depth in knowledge about filmmaking
