DISCOVER THE STORY
From a young age, I was enchanted by the magic of the silver screen. The glitz, the glamour, the power of storytelling — it all captivated me. I dreamt of becoming an actor, of leaving my mark and bringing my passion for the craft to life on screen.
Determined to succeed, I enrolled in an acting school, eager to gain the knowledge and skills I sought. However, the experience proved to be deeply disappointing. Despite my dedication, my most pressing questions about the craft were left unanswered, leaving me feeling disheartened.
Throughout my journey, I faced many challenges that highlighted the essential role of guidance and mentorship. In 2014, while working as a film journalist at Stardust, I had the privilege of proposing the revival of Stardust Academy to Mr. Hira. Thanks to his generous support, we were able to successfully re-launch the academy. After a time, I chose to explore new opportunities, which led me to establish my own school. I am deeply thankful for Mr. Hira’s invaluable guidance. Although he is no longer with us, I miss him greatly and am sincerely appreciative of the lasting impact he had on my life.
