WWI has been a huge stepping-stone for me in terms of helping me identify acting as a career path, in a very professional way. I always feel that education in a certain field plays a very long and enriching role in shaping one’s career. One needs to be mindful about what they want to do. You just can’t do a course and then forget and expect things to happen. Being from the 1st batch, we really had to work hard to get work opportunities, but I was always backed by excellent education that I received at Whistling Woods International and by the faculty. My classmates and faculty are like family to me and they are welcome to come to me whenever they need me. I am happy to come back and visit my alma mater. It gives enormous amount of pride and privilege when I visit WWI and share my stories with the students. I am glad that everybody at WWI loves us so much that we always want to keep going back.

Being at WWI has laid a solid foundation that I was looking for when I was about to start my career as an actor. With its state-of-the-art facilities, it provided me all the know-how of facing the camera and understanding the technical aspects around it. The course helped me understand and become aware of all the facets of filmmaking and collaborate with my colleagues in a better way. The mis en scène exercises, short films and diploma films helped me understand how to develop the arc of the character through the scenes and make it more effective and impactful in the story being told. I was fortunate to be taught by my acting teachers who helped me absorb and understand the nuances of acting through various exercises like imagination, action problem and the awareness of being proficient in my speech. The masterclasses were amazing experience with the insights of all the legends from the film industry, listening to them about their journeys and struggles indeed prepared me mentally to embark on this journey that I was about to undertake. Overall had a fantastic and enriching experience being at WWI.
