The trainer seemed more interested in promoting his upcoming film than teaching anything useful.
The highly anticipated Filmmaking & Video Editing Workshop organized by the Institute of Business Administration’s Center for Information and Communication Technology (IBA-CICT) Karachi, turned out to be a major disappointment for the participants. The workshop, which aimed to provide valuable insights into the world of filmmaking, failed to meet expectations, leaving attendees dissatisfied and disillusioned.
One of the primary reasons behind the disappointment was the key trainer, Rana Kamran, who was widely regarded as a total mismatch for the session. Kamran’s lack of expertise and insufficient knowledge in the field of filmmaking and video editing became apparent as the workshop progressed. Participants expressed their frustration as they found themselves unable to gain the expected insights and guidance from a reputed institution like IBA. The trainer seemed more interested in promoting his upcoming film than teaching anything useful.
The workshop, which was scheduled to cover various aspects of the filmmaking process, including pre-production, production, and post-production techniques, fell short on multiple fronts. Many attendees had high hopes for the event, anticipating a comprehensive and enriching learning experience, but those expectations were dashed by the inadequate instruction and guidance provided by the trainer.

Instead of an interactive training session with practical lessons or exercises, the workshop became just a discussion forum where even the so-called trainers were mismatched with the topics they were supposed to cover.
One participant, requesting anonymity, expressed their dissatisfaction, stating, “I was expecting a top-notch workshop by IBA-CICT, but it was a total letdown. Rana Kamran seemed ill-prepared and unable to provide the required expertise in filmmaking and video editing. It felt like a wasted opportunity.”
As disappointed participants left the premises of the workshop, many expressed their hope that IBA-CICT would ensure that such setbacks are avoided in the future. The importance of providing qualified trainers was emphasized as a crucial factor in organizing successful workshops.
The Filmmaking & Video Editing Workshop organized by IBA-CICT, which had the potential to be a valuable learning opportunity, unfortunately, ended on a disappointing note. Participants hope that IBA-CICT takes this feedback constructively and works towards organizing more engaging and informative workshops in the future, leaving participants with a positive and enriching learning experience.
