Press Release Summary: Informa India is delighted to bring the Hollywood Film
Institute's famed 2-Day Film School to India for the very first time. This is the
premiere film school of its kind in the world, and is conducted by Dov S-S Simens.
Simens - voted America's #1 Film Instructor - condenses four years of film school
theory and education into two days of essential and practical facts and information.
It\'s a no-hold barred, rapid fire weekend designed for anyone from first-time
filmmakers to established industry professionals seeking a fresh perspective on the
realities of the film business.

Press Release Body: Graduates of the 2-Day Film School - including Guy Ritchie, Will
Smith, Quentin Tarantino and Queen Latifah amongst countless others - have gone on
to produce and direct films that have grossed over $8 billion at the box office,
achieved 87 screenings at major film festivals such as Cannes and Sundance, and
earned 8 Oscars and 22 Emmys. "I thought I knew filmmaking but my partner-agent had
me attend the 2-Day Film School.and now I really do" said Hollywood Superstar Will
Smith, after attending the course.
"The 2-Day Film School carries significant resonance in India, where we have a large
number of talented, aspiring film-makers and industry professionals who have very
limited access to the information and peer-to-peer contact that can help them launch
or further their careers", says Abhaey Singh, Managing Director of Informa India.
"We believe passionately in the value and utility of the 2-Day Film School, and are
delighted to hear of its extremely positive reception in India".
