Asian Academy Of Film And Television, Filmcity, Noida

Our setup is over in Agra, specifically at 7/2 B in Jawahar Nagar, Khandari. Even though the name mentions Noida and Film City, this is where we actually do the work on the ground here in Agra. It is a bit of a strange mix, having a film and television academy branch in a residential area like Khandari, but it works for us. The street outside can get pretty noisy with the rickshaws and people going about their business, but once you step inside, we try to keep it focused on the cameras and the editing. We have some old equipment that we still use because it works fine, even if it isn't the newest stuff on the market. There are a few of us here who handle the lessons and the technical side. Sometimes we have to move the desks around to make space for a tripod or a small backdrop. It is not a huge studio by any means, but it serves the purpose for anyone local who wants to learn the ropes of the film world. We don't have a lot of fancy signs or anything. If you are looking for us, you just look for the number on the gate. We spend a lot of time just talking about scripts or trying to fix a light that keeps flickering. It's a simple operation, really. We just show up every morning and see what needs to be filmed or taught.
