Well, I'll be graduating next year and I'm terrified that I won't be able to find a decent paying job. I'm at the top of my class at Pune international film school - my films were heavily praised by teachers and fellow students alike and they always made the Student Showcase. Unfortunately, in the film making business, it’s who you know not what you know. What can I do with a degree from Pune international film school?
