'Baahubali' writer Vijayendra Prasad has unveiled a scriptwriting major for Bachelors/Masters programs at the AISFM grad film festival on Sunday.

Speaking on the occasion, Prasad said, “Stories should be narrated. You start with an idea and then build on it. Filmmaking is all about our ability to grasp an idea, sense its potential, and breathe life in it. The more observant we are of our surroundings, the more sensitive we become and the better is our capability to narrate a powerful story."

Chairman of AISFM Akkineni Nagarjuna congratulated the budding filmmakers and said, “You are in the right place at the right time, and so use this opportunity to the fullest, keep experimenting, keep exploring, keep watching, work hard and do not give up your passion and enthusiasm for films.”

Director of AISFM Amala Akkineni said, “A good film is not just the story, the acting, the camera and lights… but something that stirs a deeper response in the audience, when everything comes together well; when the ingredients are brought together with understanding."

The premiere of the AISFM Grad Festival 2019 was attended also by actor Sumanth, and writer-actor Adivi Sesh.
