When stories strive to move hearts, challenge norms, and reflect the unspoken, it is not just the visuals or dialogue that leave an impact—it is also the sound. And behind some of the most powerful sonic landscapes in Indian cinema and streaming content today stands Vandana Ramkrishna, a gifted Production Sound Mixer and proud alumna of the MA Filmmaking Class of 2018–2020 from Annapurna College of Film and Media.

Sriya Pathaneni, a graduate of the MA Filmmaking Class of 2020–2022 Sriya’s journey reflects the commitment, training, and creative rigour that our students experience during their time at the college.

Among the key highlights of the launch was the streaming of five Graduation Films created by the talented students of Annapurna College
