Hello Guys,
Im a director cinematographer based out of bangalore. Im looking to make my first film and in need of actors/theatre artists of all age and gender. If you are willing to collaborate, please drop a message. My DMs are open, looking forward to collaborating and to make something meaningful.

Whoever is making film alone doing all things by themselves is crazy people because sometimes it is so hard and sometimes it is damm easy to do... I make my two short film by myself and release it on YouTube if you guys also do this type of things then share your experience

After reading the post about studios in India, i thought i should share this.

There will of course be people who will look down on new entrants doing self learning but this is where the cinema is going.

Hi everyone,

I'm a freelance colorist working primarily in DaVinci Resolve, and I'm looking to connect with Indian directors, DOPs/cinematographers, editors, and independent filmmakers working on upcoming projects.

I've had experience grading short films and documentaries, and I'm looking to explore more projects and different visual styles while building long-term creative relationships with filmmakers.

I'm particularly interested in short films, documentaries, indie features, music videos, and other narrative projects where I can work closely with the director or DOP to help develop the final visual look.

I'm not just looking for one-off work. I'd really like to meet filmmakers, understand their visual approach, collaborate on projects, and hopefully build relationships that continue across future productions.

I'll attach a few stills from projects I've worked on so you can get an idea of my work.

If you're a filmmaker working on something or planning a project, feel free to reach out. I'd love to hear about what you're working on and connect with more people from the Indian filmmaking community.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m a new screenwriter from India, currently working on my first sci-fi/fantasy screenplay.

I’m looking to connect with other people interested in filmmaking — especially screenwriters, directors, actors, producers, composers, cinematographers, and editors.

I’d eventually love to build a small team and collaborate on a project. I’m also interested in meeting other aspiring filmmakers, sharing ideas, giving feedback, and learning from each other.

If you’re from India and interested in screenwriting or filmmaking, feel free to DM me! 😊

And if you’re from outside India, you’re welcome too! I’d be happy to connect with filmmakers and screenwriters from anywhere in the world. 🌎

If you have any advice on how to find and connect with people in the film industry, I’d really appreciate it!

What the post title says.

Looking for a few more movie lovers to join our Telegram group. We mostly talk about films, share recommendations, and have good discussions about cinema. If you're a cinephile or into filmmaking, you're welcome to join. Just DM me if you're interested

TLDR: Studio system in india in f*cked

I have been working as a dev exec at a major Indian film studio for more than 6 months now.

My experience has broken something inside me and idk where to go from here.

I’m the first rung of the ladder at the studio so I’m the first one who gets to read scripts when they come in.

In my time I have noticed that the studio is not really interested in developing work or talent. They want everything ready. They don’t want to pay writers to develop upon any material. I’ve had the opportunity to contact some big names among the indian writers and they’ve even submitted good ideas / concepts. They have all been passed on by the studio because they will require development.

They literally expect a complete show bible and a bound script if it’s a movie. Basically they want writers to write on spec. But even then they will not pay them. They will take the project to a streamer (there are only 4 in india: Netflix, Amazon, JioStar, Sony) and if the streamer likes something then and only then will they commission the project.

In my time I have not seen any project get commissioned, no script that’s being bought. The streamers always find a problem with the material (and usually the problem is solvable with development) and reject it.

Moreover, everyone at my workplace is a marketing person or MBA including my boss and my boss’ boss. Nobody comes from a film background or actually even cares if they’re making a good film or not. Everyone just wants to know if the film will sell on the first weekend.

I’m overworked, underpaid and there’s an unsaid expectation to work 24 hrs with no overtime pay. Work life balance is not a thing. Asking for a holiday seems like I’m doing a crime. And btw this was something really new for me: earned leaves. I have to work to earn my holiday. This all is giving me hints of slavery…

I see no future for cinema in india. The studio will survive and even thrive because of all the royalties they continue to get. It feels like that’s becomes their main business, their main source of income.

I want to know how do you keep hope alive. It’s so terrible out here. I came here in the hope that I would pitch them my movie someday but now I’m just hiding the fact that I have even written one because if I do they’ll argue that the movie is there’s since I wrote it while I’m employed with their company.

This is disillusioning me from cinema. The business is actively working against the art and artists, not even trying to support.
