  • Loved the entire breath of topics that were touched upon. The most valuable information throughout the whole program is the insider current day information on how things work, this is something that isn't easily or available at all online. The teachers were highly knowledgeable. Great course curation.

    Neeraj Mohan

    IT Professional

  • Dedicated and focused teachers. Patient, trying to answer all questions and this holds for all the teachers. They are present in the moment. I have attended other courses and not seen that anywhere. This really blurs the online/offline divide. And making this feel more of a community

    Avantika Sharma

    Filmmaker

  • It was very informative and it was great learning it from the scratch,many process of the film's make more sense now after today's session, it was great learning it from the mentors,Thank you soo much team levelup.

    Michael V

    Engineering Student

  • Before this, filmmaking felt too big and out of reach. But the way the concepts were taught made it feel possible—and even exciting. I finally feel confident to start working on my own ideas.

    Vikram D

    Aspiring Filmmaker

  • What I loved most was the honesty. No sugar-coating, just real insights from people who've been there. It gave me a clear picture of what it actually takes to be in the industry.
