Advancing the Future of Asian Storytelling
My time in Asian Screen Institute has been by far my favourite times in my life, I never felt so much like home before. I think because of the environment and the classmates and lecturers that was around me. I was always motivated to go to school to learn something new and learn more from my friends and also the lecturers.

“I started this course to explore more about myself. Asian Screen Institute's composition of talented, inspiring and professional individuals created a unique learning environment. These two years of self-exploration journey has brought me great joy! Not only have I gained knowledge on music production and audio engineering, I have also met like-minded individuals and developed close friendships.”
