February 05, 2008 - It's a no-hold barred, rapid fire weekend designed for anyone from first-time filmmakers to established industry professionals seeking a fresh perspective on the realities of the film business.
Graduates of the 2-Day Film School - including Guy Ritchie, Will Smith, Quentin Tarantino and Queen Latifah amongst countless others - have gone on to produce and direct films that have grossed over $8 billion at the box office, achieved 87 screenings at major film festivals such as Cannes and Sundance, and earned 8 Oscars and 22 Emmys. “I thought I knew filmmaking but my partner-agent had me attend the 2-Day Film School…and now I really do” said Hollywood Superstar Will Smith, after attending the course.
“The 2-Day Film School carries significant resonance in India, where we have a large number of talented, aspiring film-makers and industry professionals who have very limited access to the information and peer-to-peer contact that can help them launch or further their careers”, says Abhaey Singh, Managing Director of Informa India. “We believe passionately in the value and utility of the 2-Day Film School, and are delighted to hear of its extremely positive reception in India”.
Covered by media partners TimeOut Mumbai, Glamsham.com, 1takemedia.com, Broadcast & Film and Animation Today, the event will be launched in the first quarter of the year. Strictly limited places are available at the 2-Day Film School, which will take place in Hyderabad on the weekend of 29th – 30th March, and in Mumbai on 5th – 6th April.
