"What you're providing at the Forge is a world class filmmaking learning experience that's unparalleled. You create magic.
One learns more than a filmmaking program over a week long of meeting & collaborating with the best and most experienced people in the industry.
Different people from different walks of life and different places all over India & the world come together for a common cause that's filmmaking & cinema. It's a contemporary approach that's one-of-a-kind.
Like a good sword needs forging first. For a good filmmaker to be born, they must go through "The Forge" program first."

"To me forge is not only about the filmmaking but beyond that.
I met some beautiful people and was surrounded by positive energies. Everyone's heart was throbbing doing the work they love. I just miss that vibe and energy and surrounded by that people.
I wish I experience the whole thing again. The LevelUp team is blessed with this power of making people take their first step toward their passion and then holding their hands in that journey. Theseretreats should keep on happening and people should explore themselves and the world of filmmaking. "
