Reels of learning

Based in Mumbai,Kirodiyan and her husband used to run a business in logistics and supply chain for the last 20 years. “One day,I came across Prabhulkar’s advertisement about the workshop on post production and found it interesting enough to be part of it,” says Kirodiyan who is interested in films and drama. “The workshop not just helped me understand the film-making process,but also taught me ways of earning profit by being a part of it,” she said. Within just a year of attending the workshop,Kirodiyan took up the task of producing Sundar Maze Ghar,which was released recently.

Prabhulkar,who was the writer,director and producer for Goad Gupit and assistant director for Tu Tithe Mee conceived the idea of this workshop. Prabhulkar and his wife Madhurani Gokhale,who is also a model,had decided to choose this field as early as when they were 16 years old. “We had to go through a lot of struggle finding our path with no one to guide us. After 13 years of experience,film production continues to be a mystery for the common man. I felt the need of de-mystify this excellent career option for anyone interested in filmmaking,” Prabhulkar said,adding that there are at least 50 different career opportunities in the process,which are not being explored.

The workshop will be held on August 9,15,16 and September 6 from 10 am to 5 pm at Lakaki Hall,MCCIA,Tilak Road. The fees is Rs 6500,including food and travel to Mumbai. The medium of instruction will be Marathi. While about 75 participants can be accommodated in one batch,if the number of respondents exceeds 75,the rest will be accommodated in the second batch.
