One can also think of it as an effort to bridge the gap between students and industry professionals.

The idea of the event stemmed out from the need to let students experience the work environment of production and live the whole movie making process, not only in classroom but in real-time.

The idea here is to provide students with a theme to mold it into a complete movie, following the step by step procedure while being constantly guided and mentored by expert guidance at every step.

The takeaways from the experience is the spirit of teamwork, under pressure performance, creative decision making, pipeline management, sticking to the deadline and most of all the satisfaction of creating their own masterpiece.
