I have attended your 5 days workshop at WWI. It was an enriching experience. I was lucky enough to gain the knowledge & have a more brighter view on some subjects which were in grey area till then. A deep vote of thanks.
- Rajinder singh Puller
Thank you for the wonderful screenwriting workshop. I can't thank you enough for the efforts you are taking for the screenwriters in India. The workshop happened just when I was blank on what to do with my feature film script. Your insights on moral compulsion and organic writing enlightened my thinking and I just knew what was missing in my screenplay. I have put it into action and my script has become better than earlier. I have learned my lessons and have started acting on it. Hope the others who attended the workshop have begun. Cheers to many more exciting screenplays to come out of Indian writers. Thank you so much.
- Sameer
Thanks for the Wonder Soul Enriching Experience in your screen-writing workshop. I think I have changed and will see world around me in through a new eye now. May the power of the universe bless you in return of your hard work for the cause of writing.

Whistling Woods is a very fine institution, imparting excellent education and training in writing, directing, acting, editing, producing, cinematography, animation, music, etc. It has a brilliant faculty. It has some renowned professors like Head of the Acting Department Rob Reece. The institute has excellent equipment, which gives the students an opportunity to prepare for a movie career. As a Short course student of the Whistling Woods in Method Acting, I have benefited immensely from this world-class institution. There are very few such institutions with excellent infrastructure in India, Asia or the Middle East. The institute renders wonderful service by nurturing talent and skill.

Subhash Ghai, Founder Chairman, Whistling Woods International and Filmmaker speaks: 

"I had to bow down to the recommendation of our Dean John Lee that we must introduce short term courses for talented aspirants to help them decide their further career path. Amongst other courses today Whistling Woods has announced short courses and workshops for professional actors too just like in Hollywood, where established actors and stars go back to school to hone their skills further."

Meghna Ghai Puri, President, Whistling Woods International speaks:

"We constantly have a demand from different types of people, who otherwise have full-time careers, to start courses in filmmaking which are part-time in nature to enable them to pursue their hobby in the creative field. So after researching several reputed Institutes in North America and Europe, my Academic team and I decided to launch a series of short courses which would allow MBA students or working professionals to try their hand at various areas in filmmaking including photography, music or just enhance their knowledge by being part of our Film Appreciation program. Our next step with the WWI Short Course Unit is to invite Industry professionals to attend workshops to enhance their skills. This is popular practice in Hollywood amongst actors and technicians."
