General secretary of FEFSI Angamuthu Shanmugam has shared in his conversation with a leading daily about filmmakers signing up with less trained professionals due to lack of dates and facing time constraint issues.
He was quoted saying, “While FEFSI has a number of units to handle various things, film makers often end up choosing the non-trained people due to time constraint and date availability. Members of FEFSI unit know how to handle these machines and they are trained for the environment of shooting. It was the biggest mistake and now we have lost our people.”
