Frequently Asked Questions
When does Kurumpadam launch?
We're targeting Q3 2026. Waitlist members will be notified first and get priority access to submit films and register as producers before the public launch.
How does editorial review work?
Films are reviewed by our editorial team. Those meeting baseline quality standards get published. Exceptional films earn curation badges (Editor's Choice, Festival Selection) that give them featured placement.
What do you look for in films?
Strong storytelling, solid technical craft, and originality. We don't require festival selections or industry connections. Your film's quality speaks for itself.
Is there a submission fee?
No. Kurumpadam is free for filmmakers, producers, and viewers. We believe quality work shouldn't be behind paywalls.
How does producer verification work?
Producers and industry professionals can apply for verified access with credentials (production credits, company details). Verification ensures filmmakers receive serious inquiries.
Only Tamil films?
We're starting with Tamil short films to build a strong foundation. As we grow, we'll expand to other Indian languages and eventually all independent cinema.
