And the journey continues... Aniket The director.

In our last story we talked about Aniket's journey as a struggler, how he reached MAAC Rashbehari and how he decided to take his career up with animation. Today we will talk about his journey as a director.

Aniket started as an assistant director with some prominent producing houses in Kolkata and contributed in many hits. Shortly he decided to direct his own film independently which gave birth to a Bengali movie  ‘Saubala.’ And he decided to send ‘Saubala’ to festival De Cannes in the short film corner.

“My first project coincided with the real step into film fraternity, Cannes. I’m lucky, I know that. I will be continuing doing the kind of work that will bring me back here and out there in the world of international cinema. If that happens, who know one day Cannes might get to know me. For now, I’m just content with intent on soaking in the scenes, a walk in the clouds and lying by sleepy Blue Ocean” said Aniket.

Aniket thank a lot to his team for making his dream possible and making it a hit. He in future aims to follow footsteps of the great Bengali directors of Yester-Years who bought name and fame to the country by capturing the new face of a really evolving India, where past embraces present to create a comfortable uneasy future.

We think we should not disclose about it anymore and you all should go and watch it yourself. J

If any of the reader is looking and aiming in the same career as Aniket MAAC Kolkata is the place. 

Journey of Aniket from MAAC to his Dictorial Venture...

Aniket a boy next door was one of us struggling in companies before he actually released and fulfill his dream in B-Town. He was  just a simple person like you and me who holds lots of dreams. He was not a bright student but he always carried his passion and determination to do something different and earn a name for himself. His passion to do something creative and different took him to step into the Animation Industry holding the hand of Maac Rashbehari.

During his struggle period he learnt about Maac Kolkata and its different centers and chooses MACC Rashbehari. Without wasting time he decided to step into the center for a free counselling session. There he happens to meet Mr. Naveen Choudhary, he not only encouraged him to peruse his dreams but also gave him assurance that there will be no looking back for him if he can excel in this field. His meeting was impressive enough for him to kick start and go forward to join Maac Rashbehari.

Today he can proudly stand and say that he has achieved what he always wanted to.

Keep following us to know what he did and how he did in our next story...  

Stay Tuned!
