Aims of Film Cube

Common to all the local film festivals is the objective of improving creativity and film making skills. However, these filmmakers are not guided in their career paths. So what if one can produce fantastically appealing films, if one is ignorant of the methods of advertising and showcasing the film? Therefore, in order for the arts sector to continue to develop, talents in this sector will have to be nurtured in practical marketing skills too and Film Cube aims accomplish this.
