Satyanshu provided me an opportunity to access top level film education….

“As a young filmmaker who has not attended film school yet, Satyanshu Singh has provided me an opportunity to access top-level film education in these troubled times… Satyanshu Sir and his classes have been a backbone for me through the lockdown!”

DAANISH SHASTRY (NEW DELHI)

He makes me want to get out there and slog it out.

“Satyanshu sir makes me want to get out there and slog it out. The best thing about him is that he never promises any short cuts. He teaches film the right way – guiding you and opening your eyes to the process, but also letting you know that it is ultimately your own journey, your own writing, your own films, your own mistakes that will teach you the most.”

KUNAL MITRA (KOLKATA)

Learning from him is a completely different and magical experience

“Even though I‘ve been working in film and have worked with Satyanshu previously, learning from him is a completely different and magical experience. He is so passionate about this process that you can’t help but care more than you ever thought you could. He’ll challenge you without putting you on the spot, make you think and wonder and explain things with so much clarity that they’ll never feel like alien concepts ever again.”

JUNHAI NATH (MUMBAI)

I will be forever indebted to you and your lectures

“Thank you so much sir, I will be forever indebted to you and your lectures. I hope to reciprocate my gratitude through a good film soon in the future.”

DHRUV PATEL (TORONTO)

They teach you the fundamentals of storytelling

“Demystifying. That’s the best word I can use to personally describe the impact of Satyanshu Sir’s workshops upon me, and the dreams I had hoped to achieve. Sir’s lectures are so insightful because they aren’t grounded in the minutia and the technicalities of creation. No, they teach you the fundamentals of storytelling, of emotional catharsis, of empathy. Recognizing your own humanity, and the humanity of people around you is the most important precursor to becoming a filmmaker. And that’s exactly what Satyanshu Sir, and the grade-A assembly of teachers he has curated for these workshops, are here to teach you.”

ARJUN SARUP (CHANDIGARH)

“Passion, experience and being practical are the things one looks for in a Screenplay teacher. Satyanshu is well taken care of in all these departments. His love for Cinema and story-telling exudes in each one of his lectures. I also like the fact that he doesn’t beat around the bush and is direct to the point when it comes to pragmatic advice.”

If you love cinema and you want to live the cinema then you must attend his lectures.

“It was a wonderful experience to attend Satyanshu Singh’s lectures. The concept which he explains with the help of real-life and movie scenes that truly shows depth in his knowledge. If you love cinema and you want to live cinema then you must attend his lectures.”

SUMIT VILAS DANGAT (NAVI MUMBAI)

The honesty and the passion with which he teaches…

“Satyanshu Sir will make a personal attack on you by saying Writers are lazy and then also go on to say  Storytellers are the Superheroes. That’s the most important part, the honesty and the passion with which  he teaches.”

SACHIN JOSHI (LONDON)

Satyanshu Sir’s passion, love for cinema and perseverance is infectious.

“Satyanshu Sir’s passion, love for cinema and perseverance is infectious. In his lectures he’ll not only teach you the form and the technique but also go into the heart of filmmaking. He reveals to you, not only what it takes to become a great writer and director, but what it means to be one. Going beyond the business of filmmaking, to the humanity of it, he will fill you with real life set stories, verbatim recitations of his favourite films, practical applicable tools, and experience based tips until you’re overfilling with the reminder of the magic of cinema and the will to go and actualise your dream. Having been learning from him for almost a decade now, I am always surprised at the new learnings I find each time I get the opportunity to take a lecture.”

SUCHITA

treat yourself to this wonderful gift from Satyanshu and team

“Being a filmmaker by trade, and having spent an entire lifetime avidly watching cinema from across the globe, I was certain that I possessed a fair knowledge of both the art and craft. But Satyanshu’s lectures caught me off guard and were a jolt to the system, and I mean that in the best possible way. Satyanshu’s thoughtful and passionate discourse has a unique ability to make you feel both like a more well-rounded technician, as well as reducing you to a child who is just on the cusp of discovering the world of movies. If you are a budding filmmaker, a casual cine goer or just a curious cat, treat yourself to this wonderful gift from Satyanshu and the team.”

PRATIK RAMESH PRABHAN (HYDERABAD)

Satyanshu Sir’s lectures redefined cinema for me

“Satyanshu Sir’s lectures redefined cinema for me. In fact, he completely changed the way I see art in general! You’ll find that after one of his lectures, not only will you find new ways to appreciate movies you already loved, but you’ll also become hungrier to watch classics that were previously considered “boring.”

NAVSHARAN SINGH (SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA)

Satyanshu Sir has been the best thing that has happened to me in these tough times of 2020

“Satyanshu Sir has been the best thing that has happened to me in these tough times of 2020. The man first makes you learn how to float in water and slowly step by step makes you dive into the Sea called Cinema in each of his lectures. It is such a fulfilling experience to witness such deep insights into cinema. The best part is all his lectures are independent of each other. His lectures cover a wide range  of topics to satiate our quest to learn cinema according to our own needs.”

SAMRIDDHI BHALLA (KOTA)

These lectures are beneficial for both aspiring filmmakers as well as experienced ones

“Satyanshu Singh’s lecture is definitely the first thing I recommend to anyone who wishes to learn the various aspects of screenwriting and filmmaking. These lectures are beneficial for both aspiring filmmakers as well as experienced ones. There are some topics that I had already sat for before, but I have re-visited them just to refresh my knowledge and with complete faith that Satyanshu Singh will definitely have something new to add and new experiences to share, which only he can.”

ADHIRAJ BOSE (MUMBAI)

Every lecture distills the multitudes that go into making great cinema, into meaningful theory, tools, and techniques

“There’s a lot of content out there for aspiring filmmakers, and a lot of them seem to be designed at coursing the naive with vague philosophy and quick tips on filmmaking. But these lectures go way beyond that. Every lecture distills the multitudes that go into making great cinema, into meaningful theory, tools, and techniques. Can’t recommend these lectures enough!”

SAURAV MARASINI (SYDNEY)

The quality of the classes is for sure path-breaking

“These online classes came as an opportunity in disguise and especially, I like the idea of giving and take in such testing times. The quality of the classes is for sure path-breaking. The monetary cause served by this whole initiative doubles the whole purpose of joining hands with Satyanshu sir in this learning process.”
