Student Testimonials

Coming from a non-film family background, Whistling Woods International proved to be my entry into the world of cinema. Be it the infrastructure, faculty, placement, masterclasses, industry exposure, or the evaluation process, everything has been so wonderful and smooth that I never felt I was unaware of the film background. I am grateful and truly blessed to have WWI as my alma mater.

As an actor when one has an educational qualification, it gives one a certain focus and sense of responsibility towards your work. The academic approach & knowledge imparted at Whistling Woods International moulded the actor that I am today. As a professional, I owe everything to Whistling Woods International. I studied different aspects of acting and at the same time filmmaking too which really helps. WWI has a major part to play in any medium that I am working in right now.

Whistling Woods at its simplest gave me an understanding of the mass media and entertainment industry. The practical assignments and the carefully designed curriculum brought out the best in most of us. I would like to thank all my teachers and college staff for helping and teaching us inside and outside class.

Learning animation is a very detailed process and for this, an aspirant needs the best training. I've found this in Whistling Woods' rigorous curriculum where you are tutored in every detail from script to screen. I have enjoyed every moment of learning at the Institute and am sure it will be the first step in a successful and fulfilling career in Animation.

During the brief time spent at WWI, I developed an acute fondness for the campus environment. The experience went by like a whiff, mostly due to the pandemic. My course has helped me be a better designer in more ways than I can describe. My faculty supported me, mostly through two screens of separation, for the entirety of my college life, and I would like to thank them dearly for it.
