Who are we!
At RAW Learn (Real Art Workshop), we believe filmmaking is not just an art—it’s a revolution in storytelling. Based in Hyderabad, RAW Learn is India’s first Creator’s Film School, designed for aspiring editors, cinematographers, colorists, and content creators who want to master the craft of filmmaking through a 100% practical learning approach.
Unlike traditional institutes that focus on theory, RAW Learn bridges the gap between classroom learning and real industry work. Our programs are built around hands-on training, real projects, and collaborative workshops, giving students the opportunity to learn in an environment that mirrors the film industry.
