We can witness people having extremely easy access to cinematic contents all over the globe. This phenomenon is creating a space for independent and regional filmmakers to showcase plethora of quality contents. But it is still a challenge for them to reach out to OTT platforms or arrange for theatrical distribution as this space is more inclined towards acclaimed filmmakers instead of giving the newcomers an opportunity for public visibility.
This is where Zinema Entertainment Private Limited (ZEPL) comes in to act as a facilitator for young filmmakers by connecting them with digital platforms and providing them access to theatrical distribution and various revenue streams. ZEPL operates as a diversified entertainment agency that bridges the gap between the talent pool and the recruiters regarding films, television, advertisements, theatre and live events. Since its inception in 2021, the company has been monetising young filmmakers' creative pieces and providing clients with right resources such as actors, casting directors, investors, entertainment manager, producer, creative technicians, directors or any operative that serves the entertainment domain. ZEPL also has a support system that is functional in services like development of script, production, pre & post production, and distribution and exhibition consultancy.
