In a recent interview for a Peruvian film website (filmsperu.com), award-winning television advertising director, Milovan Radovic, talked about the impact the New York Film Academy has had on his career:
“When I was younger, learning filmmaking was a problem and no one could tell me what I needed to do in order to become a film director. It was as if you needed to be chosen by God to be behind the camera. One night, 10 years ago, as I was walking in my university campus trying desperately to solve this major issue, I came across a flyer that literally said: ‘Learn Filmmaking at the New York Film Academy.’ I do not believe in miracles, but in order to cast any doubt, I packed my bags and went to New York.
I do not know who had the brilliant idea of creating such a school, but I am more than thankful. My experience at the New York Film Academy changed my life in ways that, up to this day, I am still discovering.”

Soon after the program, I went over to Korea and worked on a Korean feature as a set editor. The title of the movie is “Friends.” The movie was a huge hit and broke all the box office records; and now I’m getting a lot of calls and offers from Korean productions.

I’m still working as a screenwriter. My first teleplay was just optioned by Goldie Hawn’s company.

I had 13 years of experience as a freelance environmental journalist in India. I thought that experience could be honed with new skills and a short-term course, and in such a prestigious institute, it was precisely what I needed. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I met some great people and, believe me, every single task in this vocation is a learning experience. To that extent, the prospect of living in exciting NY was a reward in and itself.
Despite awesome challenges I finished it and I relish every ounce of the experience to this day. What I learned with writing screenplays is holding me in good stead today.
