I enjoyed Forge a lot. I couldn’t believe I learnt and made a short movie in such a short time period. Kudos for this program and for a professional setup.
What I liked the most is how the team has used well known films like The Lion King, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Parasite, Eternal Sunshine (also my top 4) as examples to explain terms like mise en scene, camera angles etc.
The workshop was quit insightful covering the basics and providing complete idea of how elements of shot flim come together. The workshop could be more interesting and engaging when some film film shoots were shown and students review graduated from levelUp platform. It was helpful all together and gave us a brief start of an individual's short film journey from end to end.
The workshop was conducted by trained and currently practising professionals. Every single detail was properly explained to us, and the mentor was trying to interact as much as possible using in-session polls and questions.
It is an great opportunity to have time with them all and having a great and exposure moments with their delightful explanation they expressed towards the attenders and always precious to me. This will also attends to one of the best workshop ever forever the topic of shortfilm content

Very good valuable session.. I enjoyed very well.
THE PRESENTATION IS A REAL LEVEL UP. THE PRESENTATION WAS MEANINGFUL WONDERFUL AND DELIGHTFUL TOO. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STORY AND SCREENPLAY -THE EXPLANATION WAS AMAZING. TO BE BRIEF THE STORY BUILDING IS GREAT.
I came to the Forge looking for one answer and ended up going back with 3 beautiful things - clarity on whether or not short films (for now) is my way forward (it's a YES!), a vibrant community of like-minded passionate storytellers, and falling in love with every moment I imagine myself either writing a script, holding a camera, calling 'Action' and 'Cut', editing the layers beneath or finding my name as the credits roll. The guerrilla filmmaking approach is a beautiful concept, and while hectic, it was definitely fun, and like my mentor said, no matter what happens, always enjoy the process. Thank you, Forge, for giving me the courage to take the first step... and soon, many more!
The forge gave me an outlet to fulfill my own vision to tell a story rather than being a part of someone else's vision, I got to learn a lot about myself as a person and as a creative individual and ended up making friends for life💖
Forge has given me an opportunity to live my long buried dream of pursuing the art of film making. It has given me belief to step into and redeem myself in the world of movies
