Amit R Agarwal is a dream-merchant (film-maker sounds so non-creative naaaah!)

Based in India, Agarwal works globally and has shot across 5 continents! A visionary in entertainment industry, he was the first to envision that films can be shot & released digitally; proved by a top Indian producer in 2010 with an Indian film, Love, Sex Aur Dhokha, a roaring hit. He now envisions that with 90% of films flopping; ONLINE release will be the trend in India. This will happen the day internet connectivity improves in India (already A-listers are directing, producing, as well as, acting in web-series intermittently)

Agarwal has done the coveted "10 circle" of the Film Festival Circuit; screening his works at the Top 10 Film Festivals in the world, including the very prestigious Cannes Film Festival! An award-winning alumnus of AAFT, Noida; where, one of the icons of Global Media Industry, Shri Sandeep Marwah, personally nurtured him; over the course of his journey, Agarwal extended his expertise from his core areas as filmmaker & screenwriter, to allied streams - actor, model, film consultant, festival curator, moderator of film seminars, sales agent, line producer, script doctor, training workshops for actors & film educator - it's his roles as Actor & Film Educator that he enjoys the most in allied streams. An expert of 100+ Master Classes that he conducted worldwide, he is often asked the three Q's :

- Can cinema be taught?
Though the Q itself has been in a perennial debate; owing to his personal experience and film industry experience, his answer is an emphatic NO! You can be 'trained', not 'taught' cinema, reason why world-over the best teachers are not called teachers, they are Mentors, they nurture their Fellows (students) into honing their skills in the wonderful art-form called Cinema! Even those who disagree, would agree with the fact that the degree courses around the world are all 'training-oriented'; as such, education in cinema, is one of the most expensive to pursue!

- How to make good films?
The unfortunate victim of 'Good Film' myth! If you are; shun it, before you go to pitch your film. Accept the brutal reality, there are just two kind of films; films that sell and films that don't sell! The sooner you understand this fact; better chances of your first film getting made, may be, by a studio! 

- Is cinema theory or practical?
The tricky one, he lets fellows answer it! Agarwal's take though is, born straight out of the logic; if theory made great filmmakers, all professors at film-schools worldwide, would be the top filmmakers!

His mission is to empower and impart knowledge to each and every fellow film-professional (not just filmmaker), to make cinema, films & filmed content.
