And before we move from the topic of university, can you maybe share some tips to people who are studying or want to study, how to take advantage of that or how to benefit from university as much as they can?
Well, you know, so me going from college doing business to doing film, my parents were not happy.
Many people probably feel like they need to satisfy the parents rather than themselves, which don't think that should be the case.
you should do whatever makes you happy.
So yeah, do that.
When you get into uni, I think it's really important.
I probably haven't done that enough myself.
I've always seen the importance of it.
To socialize with people,
like to get to know more people,
get your connections,
because that colleague of yours that you think it's not cool,
might be one of those people that will go far into the industry
and because you haven't been his friend
or you haven't tried to be his friend,
you know, or he won't get far.
So it's important.
to have connections.
So, no even with the people in India yet, with people below you as well.
I think it's important because, you know, like, if someone's below you, it doesn't mean
it's less competent.
The same goes with someone's a bargain.
Everyone's like around the same age groups.
It doesn't matter.
You get to know those people as well, see their interests, get to new projects to get
their own style and socialize.
Socialized, I think is the most important part of going to any.
Obviously, don't like mess about and mess out people.
or yeah and not go to the next.
Yeah, you enjoy cheer with my homework with your peers, with your friends, with her colleagues,
make the most out of it.
So that helps you later on your lap.
That's my main tip.
As with the lectures, when I went to uni, I didn't really know, like terminology.
You didn't know what the DOP was.
They didn't know many other parts that you could do in filmmaking slash the uni.
The uni gives you those terminologies, gives you that knowledge of what's film set like,
what's the TV set like, what's expected of you, what's not expected.
of you. They're going to give you qualities that you need in the future, you know, to be outspoken,
to be reliable, stuff like this, you know. I think meaning helps you way in those aspects.
Yeah, I can only agree. Great points.
