Program 01

6-Month Fast Track Filmmaking Program

Students train across direction, acting, cinematography, editing, VFX, sound design, dubbing and distribution workflows.

All departments covered:
  • Direction & Screenwriting
  • Cinematography
  • Acting on Camera
  • Film Editing
  • VFX & Colour Grading
  • Sound & Dubbing
  • Production Design
  • On-Set Production Management
24-Week Curriculum
Phase 1 — Foundations
Weeks 1–4
Filmmaking Orientation

Introduction to the Masterg model, production culture, equipment, and the team. Your first walk through every department on a real set.

Story & Script

Story structure, short film format, scene writing, and script breakdown. Every student writes and presents a short film concept by week 3.

Camera Fundamentals

Exposure triangle, sensor theory, lens selection, focus pulling, and basic handheld operation. You are shooting by day three.

Lighting for Film

Natural light, three-point lighting, motivated sources, and the relationship between cinematography and emotion.

Phase 2 — Production Immersion
Weeks 5–14
Direction Workshop

Blocking, actor notes, coverage strategy, continuity, and on-set decision-making. Students direct scenes under real crew pressure, not staged classroom drills.

Editing Practicum

Students ingest dailies, sync sound, assemble scenes, and take notes from faculty editors. The emphasis is on story clarity, pace, and problem-solving in the cut.

Sound Design & Production Audio

Boom technique, lav workflows, room tone, dialogue cleanup, and practical sound design for the films currently in production.

First Production Sprint

Teams form, scripts are locked, and the first batch short film enters principal photography. Every student works a defined department role.

Phase 3 — Advanced Production
Weeks 15–20
VFX & Post Workflow

Students prepare plates, turnovers, titles, simple composites, and post pipelines that survive colour grade and final delivery.

Acting for Camera

Performance for lens, eyelines, continuity, self-tapes, and scene truth under close-up. Non-actors learn performance literacy; actors learn screen precision.

Production Design

Lookbooks, palette choices, prop sourcing, dressing practical locations, and building a visual world that supports the script and camera plan.

Second Production Sprint

The second batch production begins with higher complexity — more locations, longer runtime, and a greater production design requirement.

Phase 4 — Completion & Delivery
Weeks 21–24
Post-Production Intensive

Fine cut, sound pass, grading, graphics, subtitles, QC, and final approval with faculty supervising each handoff.

OTT Delivery & Compliance

Master exports, aspect ratio checks, loudness, caption files, metadata, and the packaging requirements needed for streaming submission.

IMDB Registration & Credits

Students prepare clean crew lists, role credits, artwork, and supporting production metadata so each film and contributor can be registered correctly.

Graduation & Premiere

The official batch premiere event — OTT releases confirmed, IMDB pages live. Industry guests, alumni, and press attend.

OTT Distribution

Your films don't sit in a hard drive.

Every batch production goes through the full OTT submission pipeline. Your film is reviewed, delivered in compliance with platform specifications, and released to the public on a live streaming platform.

Netflix Amazon Prime Sony LIV ZEE5 Disney+ Hotstar Voot MX Player ALTBalaji JioCinema Aha Hoichoi SunNXT
Full pipeline exposure

Students go through every stage: picture lock, sound mix, colour grade, subtitle delivery, compliance check, and master submission — not just the production.

Platform-specific requirements

OTT platforms have strict technical requirements. Learning to meet them during the program means graduates are ready to deliver professionally from day one.

Credited against the production

The OTT release is what makes the IMDB credit possible. Releasing films professionally is not an add-on — it is the culmination of the production process.

What You Graduate With

Outcomes, not just education.

OTT-Released Films

Every graduate has multiple films distributed on OTT platforms — not screened in a classroom, released to the public.

Verified IMDB Credits

Every graduate holds an active, verified IMDB filmography with real production credits across their department specialisation.

Industry Mentorship Network

Through the faculty and production ecosystem, graduates leave with direct relationships with working filmmakers, producers, and technicians.

Complete Technical Toolkit

Graduates can operate every tool across their specialised department at a professional standard — from camera through delivery.

FAQ

Program questions answered.

Is prior filmmaking experience required?

No. Both programs accept students with no prior experience. We teach from the ground up — assuming only passion and commitment, not prior knowledge.

What's the difference between the 6-month and 3-year programs?

The 6-month fast track is an intensive production immersion that gets you into the industry as fast as possible. The 3-year program adds depth, a university degree affiliation with Kalinga University, and a more comprehensive exploration of every film department.

Do both programs include OTT releases?

Yes. Both programs guarantee OTT-released film productions. The 6-month program includes 2–3 short film productions. The 3-year program includes short films, mid-length films, and a graduation feature.

How many students are in each batch?

Batches are intentionally kept small — between 20 and 30 students — to maintain production quality and ensure every student has active roles across all productions.

When do I start shooting?

In the 6-month program, you are on a camera by day three and in active production by the end of week four. In the 3-year program, your first production begins in semester one.

What equipment do students work with?

Students work on professional cinema cameras, industry-standard lighting, and professional post-production suites running Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Nuke, Pro Tools, and Avid.

Your filmmaking career starts with one decision.
