MUMBAI: Are you a movie maker waiting to debut on the silver screen? Viacom18 Motion Pictures (VMP)is giving you an opportunity to be the one.It takes the lead to recognise
talent in movies by providing an exclusive
opportunity for budding filmmakers to
showcase their talent through a visionary
initiative christened – ‘Cineshorts.’
The contest requires participants to submit a
short film of five minutes, based on a theme
that resonates with the upcoming film of the
studio.
To up the credits, VMP is all set to flag off this
engaging enterprise with its upcoming mega
release Mary Kom on the theme “Against All
Odds”, which celebrates the unbreakable and
resilient spirit of Mary Kom. An eminent jury
comprising Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Omung
Kumar along with VMP COO Ajit Andhare
among others will judge the competition.
Andhare believes that there is a need to
democratise the entertainment space so that
anyone with the vision, drive and talent can
find an ecosystem of support and nurturing to
make a film. “Cineshorts is a platform that
ventures into empowering talent by mentoring
and showcasing their promising work. We are
certain that this will usher in a new talent pool
for the industry.”
Filmmaker, Bhansali echoed the sentiment.
“It’s a wonderful platform, I mean, when I
started off in 1994, with Khamoshi it was a
very difficult process. Today’s youth come out
with new ways of looking at life. They bring in
a new perspective, their whole take on a story,
screenplay, edit or shot taking is completely
different from mine. So this is an amazing
opportunity for me to see what you have to
offer.”
Expressing her support of this mega platform,
actress Chopra said, “When you want to
establish yourself in life, you do not always
need somebody to aid you but what you need
is immense belief and a strong confidence in
yourself. So, if I did and so did Mary Kom,
why can’t you? When you have a platform like
Cineshorts why don’t you just go out there and
show them your talent so the whole world
knows about it?”
Marking the winning edge, the top five winning
films will be officially premiered on Pepsi MTV
Indies, along with winning significant cash
prizes. The contest ends on 30 September
2014. http://www.indiantelevision.com/movies/hindi/viacom18-motion-pictures-set-to-give-a-big-break-to-bollywood-with-cineshorts-140806
