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."
