As a writer, you keep getting a lot of commission jobs and people put their ideas in front of you. Sometimes you work on a certain idea because you want to explore yourself as a writer and you don’t want to work in a specific field. Film schools train you with the kind of curriculum they offer, I know a lot of people who have taken screenwriting courses. But I learned filmmaking by watching movies. It is also a difficult decision for someone coming from a middle-class family to accept that they want to be in films, that they want to tell stories. But write what you like, that’s all I can say and patience is very important in any field of filmmaking.

‘Subtitled in a way is like rewriting a film’
From directing to specializing in subtitles, the team discussed all aspects of filmmaking with the students. Jahan, who subtitled the film, shared, “I have a background in film marketing, I was also an AD. With the rise of OTT content, every film needs subtitling. It is a booming industry, but you also see a lot of work done by untrained professionals. Subtitling is a way of rewriting the film – most of us watch foreign cinema and our interpretation, understanding of the film depends on what is written in the subtitles. So you’re adapting the film to an audience that’s unfamiliar with the language and culture, it’s a really important job. There are also important technical aspects in terms of readability, it’s a balancing act.”
