"Whistling Woods boasts of such an impressive and vast faculty, be the board of directors, be the governing council, be it international advisory board...I would like to ask one question that why wasn't institute started when I was starting as a film maker?"
- Film Maker
|
|
|
"Whistling Woods is a good beginning. It is designed on an international format and has a trained faculty and excellent facilities. I myself have been part of the visiting faculty at Whistling Woods. But it has just begun. Its first batch is out . But at least it is trying to bring a global orientation in its students which will go a long way in globalising our cinema vision. "
- Scriptwriter
|
|
|
"What we do not have in India is a film institute that will understand their creativity and unlock their creativity. So I am really glad that Whistling Woods is coming out and it will provoke, encourage, create and bring out the locked potential in the future."
- Film Maker
|
|
|
"Thank you Subhashji for giving our children this gift. I will make sure that my son and his son study at Whistling Woods and become great film-makers like you."
- Actor
|
|
|
"Hi, I do believe Whistling Woods is the place to gain complete film-education in India. I wish all the students the best of luck and I'm desperately waiting for them to graduate so that I can work with them in my future projects"
- Film Director, Choreographer
|
|
|
"This institute is like a bank and students are putting into this bank everyday that they study here and they will cash upon it for the rest of their life."
- Film Maker
|
|
|
" What Whistling Woods will achieve is something that few film schools have aspired to - we will create complete cinema workers, not only people adept at their specialization. "
- Actor
|
|
|
"Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful introduction to Whistling Woods. It's an inspirational building for young filmmakers to start out in and a wonderful and practical setting so near to film city. I look forward to coming back after the build"
- Producer
|
|
|
"I'd like to tell the students, here is your chance, grab it "
- Actor
|
|
|
"Today there is a new energy called celluloid. What we need is new influx of talent. WWI provides amazing amount of courses, their syllabus is extensive-they not only tap on your directorial self or on yourself as an actor but your humanitarian self as well. "
- Film Maker

Since joining Whistling Woods my entire film watching experience has changed dramatically. I dissect plots, critique camera angles, pay attention to lighting and framing and have a greater appreciation for what appears to be effortless acting- my understanding of movie making as an art form has heightened exponentially. Email : karan.butani@whistlingwoods.net
|
|
|
I'm learning so much more here than what they teach at other
Animation Institutes. We get to dabble in the filmmaking side
of things- we think about lighting in our Cinematography
classes, learn the finer nuances of creating a character in
acting classes, are introduced to the business aspect of the
industry in the BOFT classes. All these forays into
other specializations really enhance my experience as a
student of Animation. Email : videeta.molasi@whistlingwoods.net

Being an international student I picked Whistling Woods for its world
class facilities, campus and curriculum after a careful survey
of film schools across the world. Unlike other film schools in
the country Whistling Woods with its unique location in Film
City gives us unparalleled industry access with a focus on
hands-on practical experience. Email : rochelle.dmello@whistlingwoods.net
|
|
|
Whistling Woods was an obvious choice for me because of its unique
producing course which has no curricular comparison in any
other Film school on the continent. To be immersed completely
into a world where we eat, live and breathe cinema has given
me real purpose and enthusiasm to pursue my chosen field.

I knew I didn't want to study film making in the Western
world where I have always lived. It was my sense of adventure
and desire to live in a new culture that led me to come to
Asia. I specifically zeroed in on India because it is
English-speaking as opposed to countries like Japan or China.

The professionalism is there from the start, even on our first projects we were working within budgets, working exactly how we will be in the outside world with producers and directors, so we know how the editors work, we know how the screenwriting process takes place. My experiences in this first seven weeks have been absolutely outstanding; I've never had so much fun. All the students are so creatively inclined Email : Primi.shrivastava@whistlingwoods.net

My experience here has
been phenomenal, because I've been dealing with all these professionals
learning every aspect, which is what I really wanted. Our teachers
really are the best in the business, you are looking at the names that
are working in the contemporary industry and we've been dealing with
them on a day to day basis we are a complete cosmopolitan crowd here,
people from every nook and corner of the country. You are sharing your
experiences and making films together and learning about films together
and I think that's exactly what I wanted
when I heard of WWI. It's just fantastic. Email : Anubhav.chopra@whistlingwoods.net

I was one of the few international students who had the opportunity to visit the campus before I enrolled. The WWI campus in the middle of Bollywood's thriving Film City is a great location and I fell in love with it immediately. Email : aetitia.montalembert@whistlingwoods.net

I know it is a life changing experience, and this is just a start. At school I feel at home, even my gym is there, my yoga, my books...I have managed to sustain my life style...yes coming from Dubai, life style is a big word. The school premises are well maintained, the staff are always welcoming and pay a lot of attention to details...As for the faculty, I am loving every class I attend and wish I could spend more quality time with each professor, they are a wealth of knowledge and experience and I just can't have enough...As for the management I can see and feel how devoted they are in constructing this institution, brick by brick, class by class and I know they believe, so I believe. Email : hemant.lamba@whistlingwoods.net

I can never wait to go to the next day because I know it's always going
to be really interesting for me. I'm always looking ahead to what I'll
be learning, who I'm going to meet next, which director, which faculty,
Its giving me all that I want and I'm really enjoying it. It's my home
now. Email :

WWI has changed my perception about what i wanted to do. I am more
focused and determined about what I want and how to go about it.
I have started to learn all aspects of the industry
and I am developing a keen eye for filmmaking and film appreciation. I
have already grown as an individual and have learnt so much from people
from different parts of the world. I know there is a tough road ahead
but with the passion that I came in with, I think it's going
to be a ball ahead as we will move into our specializations. Email : tina.sangha@whistlingwoods.net

I am thoroughly enjoying working with young aspiring filmmakers like
myself who share the same zeal and passion for creativity.
Even after a grueling day of classes and shooting, we get back
to our hostel and sit around in the common room talking about
script ideas and storylines late into the night. Email : arjun.dhawan@whistlingwoods.net
