I’m really thrilled to keep in touch with all of you who inspired me to make my first feature film. I am happy to say “The Outhouse” was the official Indian entry to Cannes. I am also the recipient of two Best New Director Awards at the national and international levels. All this happened due to NYFA.

I kept with my faith, pushed harder and was accepted into the New York International Film Festival where my film “Emulsion” was screened twice throughout the week to packed theaters. There were roughly 150 films being screened at this event. Then, I was hit with bigger news that my film was selected into the Cannes Film Festival. This is exactly the type of market I need to be looking at my film. I’m pretty excited. Who knows, maybe something will happen! None of this would be possible without your incredible school.

In a recent interview for a Peruvian film website (filmsperu.com), award-winning television advertising director, Milovan Radovic, talked about the impact the New York Film Academy has had on his career:
“When I was younger, learning filmmaking was a problem and no one could tell me what I needed to do in order to become a film director. It was as if you needed to be chosen by God to be behind the camera. One night, 10 years ago, as I was walking in my university campus trying desperately to solve this major issue, I came across a flyer that literally said: ‘Learn Filmmaking at the New York Film Academy.’ I do not believe in miracles, but in order to cast any doubt, I packed my bags and went to New York.
I do not know who had the brilliant idea of creating such a school, but I am more than thankful. My experience at the New York Film Academy changed my life in ways that, up to this day, I am still discovering.”

Soon after the program, I went over to Korea and worked on a Korean feature as a set editor. The title of the movie is “Friends.” The movie was a huge hit and broke all the box office records; and now I’m getting a lot of calls and offers from Korean productions.

I’m still working as a screenwriter. My first teleplay was just optioned by Goldie Hawn’s company.
