CRAFT (Center for Research in the Art of Film and Television) is a Scam. It is located in a village in Rohini Delhi, India. The director of CRAFT, Mr. Naresh Sharma is always busy discouraging students and using abusive language even in front of the girls. The sound equipment is always out of order and they have old versions of editing softwares. The so called library (which is by the way just two shelves of books) did not have a single film direction book. Bollywood films are shot on Arriflex camera. But in my almost 20 months I never saw an Arriflex at CRAFT. Also, the batch in which I was studying the course got delayed because Naresh Sharma could not provide a camera to his students to shoot their projects. Their editing faculty named Mr. Juneesh Kuriachan does not know Avid software and he is teaching students. You can just imagine the pathetic state of this institute. CRAFT's placement record is very bad. Students are jobless. I am also jobless. When I spoke to Naresh Sharma about placement he avoided eye contact with me. He told me to first go to Mumbai and then call him. When I reached Mumbai and called him, he did not answer my calls. I have wasted my Rs. 95000 on direction course. Also one year course was delayed to 20 months. Sharma is just making money. He is not making media professionals. I want to warn you guys as a well wisher. I was in the batch of film direction 2010 at CRAFT.
