Joel, Siva and Shreyas, three of them were excellent in delivering in their knowledge and contents for us. Actually I was about to pursue 1yr Diploma in film making, but my parent are not allowing me to quit my job, at that time only I luckily found LevelUp and literally I had a great experience and gained more knowledge about cinema and stuffs and at the end of the day I feel complete. Thanks to LevelUp Team

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 (not filmmaking) and not seen that anywhere. This really blurs the online/offline divide. Praveen especially sharing his ID also and making this feel more of a community

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.
