How I rediscovered my passion
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I had a really good experience at NABA, it's a great University. I specialized in Filmmaking from the second year and sincerely loved it. I learned a lot of new things, such as directing a short film or working in film production. Before NABA I already had some experience in photography, but during these three years at NABA, I truly understood what I want to do in my life:...
Exceptional school
