Ans: I clearly remember the day I urged my parents to let me pursue a specialised undergraduate course in filmmaking from one of the top film schools in India, i.e., the Film and Television Institute of India. I was exposed to an altogether new world of filmmaking after enrolling in the course. The programme gave me a thorough understanding of numerous aspects of filmmaking. In essence, I learned everything there is to know about filmmaking, right from screenwriting to set design/ art direction and whatnot.

The sole reason I took the decision to pursue an integrated filmmaking course was to fulfil my childhood dream of writing and telling the most compelling stories to people through the language of cinema. Ever since I was a mere child, I dreamt of creating stories that will stay with people and touch innumerable hearts. That’s the reason why I chose to pursue a filmmaking course. 

I opted for the course right after completing my higher secondary education. It is common knowledge that a career in the field of media, especially in the entertainment sector can be quite a challenge to overcome. This is why, I chose to pave my career path from an early age. In this regard, I would like to express my gratitude towards my parents for letting me pursue such an unconventional course in a nation that does not consider art as a real career path. 

The course not only provided me with an extensive understanding of filmmaking but also helped me interact with numerous talented filmmakers and artists. I got to know much more about the subject and the domain just by socialising with such young talents who brought new perspectives to the table. That being said, towards the end of the course, I was able to create my own short film and showcase it in front of a huge audience. Although the audience reception was not as great as I expected, I still managed to learn a lot from my own shortcomings. All in all, it was a great learning experience for me that opened up a whole new world of opportunities for me.
