An independent film maker and media consultant, Ms. Arti Jain has worked as an independent producer in India and in US. She started her journey in this field from MCRC Jamia University, Delhi. She have been an executive producer, director, editor and script writer for films, as well as as worked for co-orporate videos and fund raising films for non-profit organisation.
Working on both sides of fiction and non-fiction divide, her films have won numerous awards. She has travelled to film festivals, which have been broadcasted on television both in India and US. Her recent work include CSR films for GAIL, and training films for the UNICEF. She won a programme coordinator of independent lens in a weekly show aired on PBS in the US and apart form this many different awards for her excellent work.
The major take away from her for me would be how to make change in the existing system by creating influential and smart piece of work. Documentaries are supposed to be boring, she could show us how we can make them interesting and witty more than fiction and non-fiction; for example she showed us one award winning documentary film in which small kids changed the way of thinking of people of China, in terms of politics. Media plays a very vital role to create a social setup within a country. Hence, it is a very important medium to handle with all necessary care and precision.
Ms. Jain, has a lot of knowledge and experience which motivated us to a great level in terms of making films which interest people.
