Students at IMI
At IMI, I realized that filmmaking is great fun but a hell of a lot of hard work. Simple shots that we take for granted as part of the audience can take hours to design and shoot, but in the end it is worth the toil. My classmates at IMI made it fun to come back to school again where time knew no bound as we dwelt in great details of various aspects of filmmaking. The faculty was extremely encouraging yet critical and told us in no uncertain terms what our short comings were. The Filmmaking Diploma at IMI has truly been an extremely and enriching experience.
