It was a wonderful experience, the teachers had so much to teach us and i loved the way they taught us.
It was a nice start. I am looking forward for more
The class was effective and the no nonsense approch was good over all
It was very amazing and engaging session. I have attended few workshops on screenplay writing. But honestly speaking the speaker was really knowledgeable and having so much to share with the participants.
In this session very interesting and mentor make engaged in class and it's gave clarity about screenwriting
The wiring exercises at the Retreat made me jump up and go about it like never before. The structure and the mentors were great. It’s not like I haven’t been writing earlier. But here, I got exactly what I needed to feel confident and I learnt how to actually go about doing what I wanna do - screen writing.
Had a great time, I thank you Forge for giving me the space, time and honest feedback to start my screenwriting journey. Allthough not perfect it did accomplish the job of putting you into the shoe of a screenwriter for sometime atleast. Its upto us to continue walking in these shoes.
In simple words I want to say class was easy to grasp, clarity came with examples and after this class your basics will be strong for sure.
I got to know so much about screenwriting, with in depth explanation of all the steps explained by sir. Because of this session I'm truly motivated to write stories with more clarity of each element in story writing. Genuinely, it was an amazing session and Praveen sir's way of explaining is too good. Thank you so much for hosting this session.

Thanks for the workshop....it was really helpful
The nitty gritty of what a sound designer does
The discussion part and the fact that he explained everything nicely
The energy and knowledge Mr. Pradeep conveyed was good. The samples and the breakdown shown were inspiring.
I really enjoyed how today’s session on sound designing combined creativity with practical learning. I loved exploring how different sounds can completely change the mood and impact of a scene. The hands-on examples and demonstrations made it easier to understand concepts like layering, effects, and sound editing. It was engaging, insightful, and gave me a new perspective on how important sound is in storytelling.
I leant a lot of new thing, like the role of a sound designer in sets and all.
The way the mentor came up with his clarifications to clear certain doubts at the end.

I highly recommend this program to people with ADHD.
Thanks for an insightful introduction with lots of examples
What I have learned in the workshop is the most important topics and concepts of writing a complete and a perfect scrip for a film to be a great one…. Those who have interest and have not much knowledge about the script writing and film making… this workshop would have helped a lot to improve themselves and lot more topics to be discussed with us from your end. Need one more workshop as continuous one… with some more duration
Hi, I had a really good experience attending the workshop. I learned something new from your session, and I truly appreciate the effort you put into it. Thank you so much for the opportunity! I also wanted to share a small feedback regarding the website. The link shared in the chat only allowed me to watch the video, but I wasn’t able to interact through the chat option. Additionally, the link provided at the end of the session was not accessible for me. It might be helpful to check these issues, as others may have faced the same problem. Overall, it was a great session—thanks again!
The attention to detail. Learning about the structure and components of an efficient screenplay made me go deep in this area. The mentor also put in a lot of effort for this workshop. It was a great experience.
What I loved most about the workshop was how real and immersive it felt. It wasn’t just about learning it made me feel inspired and confident to express my ideas. The supportive environment and hands-on approach made the experience truly meaningful, and it strengthened my passion for creativity.
The session was a success. It talked about all that a writer wants to know. The highlight was the movie scene of pregnant woman. That really gave an idea.

Fantastic learning journey. Fun-filled activities with some amazing people from all over India, with mentors who were seriously super-excellent. I am now able to get on and 'just write' as the workshop cleared tonnes of cobwebs and clutter in my mind that prevented me from writing properly. I came out of the workshop a totally transformed person.
An unforgettable week filled with stories, creative discussions, and love from all corners of the world!!!
I absolutely loved the location, the people, the concept of a writing retreat in the hills, it gave me all the solace I needed to write
It was a lovely experience where all elements of going viral on insta was covered.
I have been thinking about filmmaking for a long time. And forge really helped me realise those dreams and I'll use all the things I've learned to make more magic! The choice to team us up with other forge members and the mentors that were chosen for us were someone that gelled well with all of our artistic sensibilities. So kudos..... Love, Asishey Uranw
The cinematography workshop was very well conducted and highly informative. The explanations were clear and easy to understand, and the examples provided made the concepts even more practical and relatable. It was a great learning experience, and I really appreciate the effort put into making the session engaging and valuable.
If you’re someone who wants to start creating content but has no clue where to begin then this is your sign. Forge gave me exactly what I was missing: clarity, direction, and the confidence to just start.
The people, the experience, and the feeling was great, never felt that rush and emotions run through your mind and heart, the whole process felt very good, clubbing everything in just few days and helping us in this process was great
Having a great session, useful to begginers for sure
Having a great session. Its usefull to begginers for sure
It was good and ok but could have given more information about the camera angles in screen play
I loved the way of explanation of things and examples provided to explain the content. Looking forward for more workshops sessions.
I started the course as a Finance coach who was unsure of creating content and came out of the 7 days at Goa with a deep understanding of story telling, hooks and scripting for insta in addition to basic editing knowledge . Would recommend this program to content creators who want to know how to become more viral on insta..
I loved that we got to learn everything for bringing an idea from script to the screen in such a short time. Everything was meticulously planned and thoughtfully curated. By they end of the course I got the confidence I was looking for to get into filmmaking.
Participating in The Forge wasn't just another program; it felt like a total mental recalibration. I came in looking for a roadmap, but I walked away with a completely new engine
I loved the overall engagement, the sense of community. Hands on learning and making friends for life who all have the same interest. The mentors did their best to impart their knowledge and make our films better. I really appreciate Forge for making this happen
Forge Creators wasn’t just a course… it was a full-on algorithm awakening 😄 It took me from “just posting” to actually understanding what’s going on behind the screen—how content clicks, why some things stick, and how the algorithm isn’t some mysterious villain… it’s just waiting to be understood (and maybe gently befriended). What stood out? The way everything was rolled out—slow, steady, and super solid. No content chaos, no info overload… just learning that actually lands. You don’t just scroll through it—you grow through it. Somewhere between reels and realisations, I found more clarity, more confidence, and a stronger creator voice. And the best part? I didn’t just gain insights… I gained a whole crew that gets it—and the jokes that come with it 😄 Forge gave me a community I’m definitely keeping for life—people who hype you up, call you out (nicely), and grow with you.💛
Guys, you just rekindled my love for filmmaking which I was very close to losing. Thanks a lot.
My life has taken a surprising turn. Not much has changed on the surface but I feel like an upgraded version of myself – a pro max with many new features. I was in Goa from 9 to 16 Feb attending a film making bootcamp organized by Forge by LevelUp Learning. At first I was sceptical but I am glad I took a chance because it was as genuine as it gets. There were real professionals teaching the real craft with industry grade equipment. It was incredible. It was like being at Universal Studios with multiple groups shooting multiple sequences all around me. There was tremendous opportunity for intellectual and creative stimulation. I cannot remember the last time I felt so excited and alive. So present in the moment. The good news is that I made my first short film from beginning to end, the quality of which surprised everyone including me. The bad news is that my life satisfaction has decreased significantly because now I constantly feel like I am underliving my potential. I can do more and be more.
Forge is something gave a great life time experience
This has for sure give me a great experience to the new world. It's a big learning for sure.
In one word (Amazing). Loved every bit of it, the way mentors helped in learning. Real time support, Entire team is so polite and generous. Learnt a lot in short span of time.
It was pretty good for a first timer to know about the reality of film making. The screening was the best part.
I was at a crossroads in my life, searching for a path that would give me true happiness and peace no matter the workload or time it demanded. Films had always fascinated me, and deep down, I always wanted to create one of my own.I had tried before, but I lacked confidence, the right team, and a clear direction. That changed when I joined the Forge Filmmaking Workshop.This experience transformed me. Today, I see a new version of myself someone ready to sacrifice time and comfort to bring a vision from paper to screen, and to feel the purpose that comes with it.Thank you for helping me rediscover who I am, reminding me of my goals, and giving me the confidence to chase them. I highly recommend the Forge Filmmaking Workshop to every cinephile and anyone who dreams of making films.
Loved it and this is the best thing I have done in ages
The people. Rahuls classes. Prakritis mentorship. Abhijeeths patience in teaching me to write a short division. Every part of it was great.
This is not like the fancy, relaxed courses which you see online. This is the Real deal. You will learn the technicalities and Mindset of storytelling, retention, and Reels. If you are serious about content creation, then this is for you.
Loved it too much. Can't wait to be there someday as a proud alumni or may be mentor/speaker
I absolutely loved the entire experience. The way everything was curated — the curriculum, the flow of sessions, and how each topic was taught and then practically implemented — was excellent. The mentors were fantastic and constantly pushed us to step out of our comfort zones while always being open to answering questions and guiding us whenever needed. A special mention to the production team as well, who were available at any time of the day and always ready to come down and help in every possible way. The storytelling session that Rahul started with deserves a special mention — it immediately clicked and made us feel that the entire trip was already worth it, even though it was just the first day. Overall, it was a truly great experience.
Live example of the subject i.e., is so easy to understand
Script writing explained in a very simple yet innovative way. Lots of takeaways from it. will help in shaping the idea of a film in a constructive way.

The whole time of workshop is a bit lengthy. It can be a little shorter and crispy
I loved the way that explained about the screenplay
I think it a new concept for the people who wish to enter into filmmaking and this app is doing well to guide them.
I really like the way of teaching. They make interaction beginner friendly and use easy language to understand better about cinematography and lighting

I could not attend because lf an emergency could you givee the resources
The workshop was amazing. Everything was well taught. It was made super easy to understand shots, scenes, cinematography, sound etc.
The topic itself, it's one of my favourite films and to have such a detailed discussion over it was a great experience
The minor and every single details about bhramayugam movie were explained very well with so much detail and examples and also talked about the shots used in the movies
Interactive. Everyone can share there pov no mater if it's right or wrong.
Everything from the longline session to the Colour discussion it was was brainstorming.
It was nice that session was an open forum of discussion that everybody can chime on on their insights with the host.
The mentor was experienced and brought a wealth of knowledge, but I wish there had been more slides and that he could have expanded the classes. This would have given us a deeper glimpse into his expertise, allowing us to learn even more.
