CHENNAI

Don’t lose your innocence, your naiveté and always watch and make films with passion. I envy you for this opportunity you have to learn and earn a certificate in 2 years while it took me 20 long years to achieve it on my own.

I am impressed that L V Prasad Film & TV Academy has successfully completed 7 years. I am sure this batch of filmmakers will make films with sensitivity which is the need of the hour in Indian Cinema.

Like professionals in the field of medicine, engineering and information technology, cinematographers too need formal education and training in a University / Academic Institution for a strong foundation and to scale new heights in their chosen field. LV Prasad Film & TV Academy is one such Center of Excellence where young aspirants can benefit.

I sometimes wish I could have also gone to a film school like all you fortunate ones.

Since I never had the opportunity to educate myself in a formal manner in film making, I envy you! So please make sure that you keep the flag flying high with your films.

What the industry needs more than talent is the confidence... be truthful to yourself

I know how good this institute is because I have never heard students cheer for their teachers so much! I know they are going to create a lot of filmmakers here.

It is so wonderful to see so much enthusiasm, so much spirit and all I can say is keep this spirit up!
