Mentors who actually make films.
At Masterg, we don't hire educators. We hire filmmakers who also teach. Every faculty member at the academy has active industry credits — they were on a set last month, and their knowledge shows it.
Why our faculty are different.
Every Masterg faculty member is currently making films. Their knowledge is fresh from the set — not from a textbook that was updated eight years ago. When they critique your dailies, they're drawing from something they shot last month.
We don't give gentle, encouraging feedback for the sake of it. We give the same direct, technical, professional feedback a student will receive from a producer, network executive, or co-director on their first professional job.
Batch sizes are intentionally limited so every student gets meaningful one-on-one time with faculty during production. You're not a face in a lecture hall — you're a crew member working alongside a mentor.
Faculty specialise in their own craft but understand the full production pipeline. The best directors at Masterg understand editing. The best cinematographers understand production design. We teach the whole picture.
The Masterg core team.
Our core faculty are involved in every batch — on set, in the edit suite, and in the critique room. These are the filmmakers who shape the Masterg experience from day one.
Working filmmakers who train students inside live production environments rather than theory-only classrooms.
Mentors focused on building technical fluency across shooting, editing, finishing and visual storytelling.
Guides who help students perform on camera, shape dialogue delivery and understand screen realism.
Industry professionals in the room.
Beyond the core faculty, every Masterg batch benefits from sessions with guest filmmakers, OTT executives, casting directors, and technical experts from the working industry. These aren't ceremonial visits — they review your work and give direct professional feedback.
Guest faculty vary by batch. All guest sessions are announced in advance with full credentials.
Not a lecture. A collaboration.
At most film schools, mentorship means a faculty member reviewing your assignment after you submit it. At Masterg, mentorship means a working filmmaker standing next to you on a production set, watching your monitor, and telling you in real time what's working and what isn't.
Faculty at Masterg are embedded in productions — not observing from a distance. When you're in the edit suite, they're cutting alongside you. When you're on set, they're watching your monitor. When you're in the mix, they're listening and giving notes.
This model produces a different kind of learning. It's not theory absorbed and then applied — it's knowledge transferred in the moment, in context, with immediate consequence.
It also means students repeat the full feedback loop faster. A scene is blocked, shot, reviewed, reworked, and shot again while the lesson is still alive. That compression of practice and critique is what turns instinct into craft far faster than a semester of theory ever can.
Faculty watch your monitor during every setup and give directorial feedback in real time — not at a critique session three days later.
Every day's footage is reviewed with faculty in a proper viewing environment. Notes are detailed, specific, and industry-standard.
Editors work alongside faculty in the edit suite, cut by cut — learning pacing, rhythm, and story sense through direct co-editing.
VFX artists, colourists, and sound designers work under direct faculty supervision on every deliverable from the production.
