Anyone preparing for UCEED exam?

HI 18M here.

I am preparing for UCEED 2027.

I do know the syllabus and have read through the PYQs (not solved).

I kinda know what Part A and Part B demand from the candidate.

But if you have prepared for UCEED exam or are currently preparing for it, then you would know that the syllabus is very vague and not much detailed.

So I want to know what resources should I use to efficiently prepare for the exam instead of guessing everything. I need some guidance to make sure I am on the right path.

If you are preparing or have cleared the exam, please guide me here a little.

I will be very grateful 🙏 🫂

Hi 18M here.
I am an aspiring filmmaker and I am planning to shoot my first ever short film.
It is a psychological thriller dealing with childhood traumas and its effects on a person.

I need:-
**1. Male lead-** *25 to 30 year old*
**2. Female lead-** *25 to 30 year old*
**3. Side role (father)-** *35 to 40 year old*
**4. Supporting roles (3 to 4 friends)-** *25 to 35 year old*
*( The ages mentioned are not the ultimate requirements. Your screen presence and portrayal matter more)*

If anyone's interested being cast as any of the above mentioned roles, contact me.

**NOTE: This is just a passion project so there won't be any payments for your time.
You will be provided with food and other basic necessities on set. You will be credited for the role.**

Hi 18M here. I am just getting started in filmmaking.
My plan is to start with 3-5 minute sketches for reels and Youtube to just get started and get recognition and also because I like sketches.
So if anyone's interested in helping me write sketches in any genre you are well versed in, contact me.
I just want you to know that this is a passion project, I'm just getting started so there won't be any payments.
BUT if you are also starting out and looking to build proof of work or just explore screenwriting, this could be a good opportunity,
DM me if this sounds good for you ;)

So I am planning on starting my own Indie Entertainment studio.
The plan is to make 3-5min long skits of our own original screenplays.
It can be of a variety of genre- horror, comedy, drama, psychological, suspense, sci-fi or a blend of multiple genres.
I am looking for my own little group that can be my crew.
So if you are interested in writing or help in writing original screenplays for skits like these, leave a comment and DM me.

(I'm not sure if this is the right flair but here I go)

I’m an 18-year-old aspiring filmmaker based in Chandigarh preparing to shoot my very first short film. Since I'm starting out with virtually no budget, I don't have the funds to buy or rent camera /equipment yet.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone in the community would be willing to help out in one of two ways:

Lend a camera & mic setup for a single day of shooting.
Join the team as our Cinematographer / Camera Operator! If you own gear and want to collaborate on a project, bring your setup and be a part of the shoot. You'll be fully credited, and it's a great opportunity to work together in a passion project.

We'll treat your equipment with total care, and make sure you're well-fed on set.

If you have a camera/mic setup you’re willing to spare or want to jump on board as a crew member, please drop a comment below or send me a DM.

Thanks a lot for reading.

Hey everyone,

I run ShowSliced, a growing Discord community (currently 35 members) packed with highly active aspiring indie filmmakers, video editors, and scriptwriters. We spend our time breaking down cinematography, analyzing scripts, and collaborating on projects.

For our very first community masterclass, we want to open up the stage to an actual industry professional or experienced indie creator. We are looking for a filmmaker, screenwriter, or editor who wants to host a casual, 1-hour live session to share their journey, break down a piece of their work, or teach a specific creative process.

What we are looking for:

• A 30–45 minute screen-share breakdown or lecture (e.g., how you paced a specific scene, how you format and pitch a short film, or a deep dive into color grading aesthetics).
• A 15–20 minute casual Q&A with our members at the end.

What’s in it for you: Since this is our community's first official masterclass, we aren't charging for entry and cannot offer an upfront booking fee. However, this is a great opportunity to get your work, your portfolio, your YouTube channel, or your upcoming project directly in front of an incredibly targeted, highly engaged audience of passionate creators who actively support indie projects. You will have the floor to plug your links and connect with the next generation of editors and shooters.

We handle 100% of the moderation, technical setup, and server permissions—you just need to jump into a Discord voice/video channel and talk about what you love.

If you’re interested in giving back to the indie community and hanging out with some passionate creators for an hour, drop a comment below or send me a DM with a quick intro and a link to your work/portfolio.

Let's make something cool!

I am an 18 year old aspiring filmmaker finally stepping into filmmaking for the first time and I need to assemble a team.
I need amateur actors and aspiring filmmakers who are interested in working on a short film directed by me.
And to be clear, there wouldn't be any payment for this cause I am looking for amateurs which means people with little to no experience, who are interested in being a part of this.
I am a newbie too and looking for more 18 year old aspiring filmmakers and actors who want step into this field just like me.
It will be a fun and learning experience for all of us.
I can't share the venue/date or the script yet.
I am out of town right now but I will be returning soon by the end of this month.
And the reason I am posting this is advance is to just get it out there. This way I would have the time to talk to everyone interested in joining me.
By the end of the month I can have a final list of cast and crew.
Hope you guys get it and care to join me.
Reply me in the comments and I will DM you all one at a time.
Thanks.

I am an 18 year old aspiring filmmaker.
I made the same post in r/Filmmakers and r/indianFilmmakers a few days ago asking you guys how to get into filmmaking and so many of you (about 80 comments) took the time to guide me, share your experiences and motivate me to just start.
The reason for this talk session is pretty straightforward:-
I am a complete beginner and need actual filmmakers to guide me a little. Its not easy to find filmmakers around you (amateurs or professional) and that's why I am using the only best resource I know- the Internet.
I don't want someone to just spoon-feed me everything but since so many of you took the time to reply under my post I just thought this is the best place to get in touch with people and actually learn a thing or two.

What we'll do during the session?
There would be 4-6 people in the meeting.
Everyone will get about 10-15 minutes to speak .
In that time slot, you will help us understand how you came up with the storyline for any one of your project and why you made certain creative choices.
And then we will take a couple minutes each to speak out thoughts about your film.
You can also talk about any project you are working on and feel like sharing your rough draft or story idea.

Its not compulsory to absolutely stick to the memo, this is just to give you a rough idea what we might do in the session. You can be totally comfortable speaking about whatever you want.

The Session would be tomorrow, 6 July 2026 at 2:30 PM.

Comment or DM if you're interested in a casual conversation about writing, screenplays and much more.
Thank you.

This is their website

So as it is clear from the post, he is the founder of an AI generated filmmaking service startup.
The entire business is "make the script to final movie all with AI, yayyy"

And they are hosting an "AI Filmmaking" competition type thing where, you guessed it, people are gonna participate and try to make the best slop possible.
And they had the audacity to use words like "original" and "storytelling" like fym by that??
The people participating are interested in making a movie with AI, that's it they don't give shit about storytelling.
Like do you also think normalizing this is bad or am I lashing out for no reason???
This is the post

If anyone is in support of this in any way, I messaged the mods of that sub and they have taken it down and thanked me for informing them. I also appreciated their responsiveness and loyalty to filmmakers. And also, leave this sub cause you ain't no filmmaker. YOU'RE A LARPER.

Hi everyone,
I am about to turn 18 next year and I want to seriously get into actual filmmaking.
I know you guys have probably seen so many kids trying to get into filmmaking with no
experience, asking for advices on reddit but hey, we gotta begin somewhere :)

I was always motivated to make my own movie someday or start my own Youtube Sketch channel.
But I never got the exposure or opportunity to even start.

I have been following this Youtube Channel called 'That's a bad idea'.
They make funny skits and a lot of horror short films.
The guy who directed most of these, Curry baker is the same guy who made Obsession recently and we all know how much appreciation it got all around the world. And surely, this movie motivated a lot of kids like me to actually start filmmaking because this is like a living proof that you can do it if you have the talent.

Now about 5-6 months ago, I got very interested in Screenwriting too.
I have been trying to come up with my own stories for a full length movie.
I thought if I come up with a good script and just approach a lot of Production houses relentlessly, I can actually make a movie of my own.
But I also knew that this is a veryyy far fetched plan.

So I started thinking of a more realistic approach.
And SHORT FILMS!
They are the best way to display my potential and put it out there.
I would rather lose my sleep to doing what I love than having a shallow life working a job I hate.

The purpose of this post is to share my situation with people who actually care and get advise from people who have been doing this for years.
My plan is to join a small indie production house or film crew and create short films.
We will then post these short films and skits on social media because that is easily the best way in the present era.
I already have 5 drafts ready for short films and would love to work with professionals to convert them to actual content.
