Hyderabad: T-Hub in association with MeeSchool is jointly conducting CinePreneur, a media and entrepreneurship programme, to train a new generation of cinepreneurs. They are collaborating with Richa Khandelwal Bhat, the CEO of Keshav Productions Pvt. Ltd., Anil Pallala, the founder-CEO of SillyMonks Entertainment Limited, and others.

The various courses the platform offers include direction, scriptwriting, cinematography, photography, acting, dancing, voice over, editing, production, animation, graphic designing, 2D and 3D compositing, motion graphics, VFX, and audio and video editing. The first batch of cineprenures is already being trained.

The founders of MeeSchool, Pratibha Pulijala, and other partners discussed the programme at a press conference held here on 28 July.

Mahankali Srinivasa Rao (MSR), the CEO of T-Hub, said, "It is heartening to see that hybrid learning is being implemented here to enable young minds to learn from film industry personalities from different parts of the country. This will provide an opportunity to know the depths and procedures of the film industry in different areas. This is a great platform for the aspirants who want to enter the film industry and those who want to take up new opportunities in the media and entertainment sectors."

Richa Khandelwal Bhat said there was a need for constructive training in the film industry. "Due to the corporate culture in OTT, quality content is required in a short period. Therefore, efficiency and competency play a big role here," she added.

Anil Pallala of Sillymonks said, "Producers and directors need a proper marketing strategy to be sustainable in the industry. We will cooperate to bridge the gap in this matter. The internship offered here will play a key role in preparing the new directors and producers to meet the needs of the industry."

Pratibha Pulijala of MeeSchool said the training will give support to cinepreneurs who want to set up new media outlets and said opportunities for collaboration with various organisations, real-time industry exposure and guidance from industry experts will be useful for newcomers.
