Many people dream about joining the Film Industry… is it possible? What if?
To follow your dreams you will have to leave your comfort zone
It is called to struggle
The seed of the struggles starts in your home town
Once you decide to move to Mumbai the struggle accelerates
I am here to define what could be if you decide to take the plunge
You could want to be an actor, director, cinematographer, editor etc
So you come to Mumbai
Now you need housing and food and most importantly knowledge of what to do next
You could become an assistant director (but that will need experience)
If you are an actor, then you are an actor since childhood
You do not need to learn acting but instead you need to learn camera, drama, music.
What is drama and how is music used with it
How does the camera capture you. That lens is the audience in the theatres
