About IndieScreen

A Curatorial Platform for Independent Tamil Cinema

Exceptional films are being made outside traditional systems. We provide a dedicated space where quality work is recognized, celebrated, and discovered—on merit, not connections.

Our Mission

IndieScreen is a curated showcase for quality Tamil short films. We watch every submission and feature work that demonstrates strong craft, compelling storytelling, and originality.

We don't care about your festival history, industry connections, or budget. We care about whether your film is good.

Selected films get featured with full filmmaker details. Viewers can discover your work, and industry folks looking for talent know that everything listed here meets our quality bar.

Who We Are

Currently run by a film industry professional who believes exceptional work deserves recognition. No corporate backing, no investors—just a commitment to quality curation and building something valuable for the independent film community.

Curation Criteria

We evaluate films on four core elements:

  • Storytelling – Clear narrative arc or compelling conceptual framework
  • Technical Craft – Competent execution of cinematography, sound, and editing
  • Originality – Distinct voice and fresh perspective
  • Completeness – Finished work, not rough cuts or proofs-of-concept

Response time: 4-6 weeks · Free submission · Always will be

Looking Ahead

Our immediate focus is building a credible catalog that establishes IndieScreen as a trusted source for discovering quality Tamil cinema.

Future possibilities include filmmaker-producer networking, crew connections, and distribution/crowdfunding support. But first, we earn trust through consistent quality.
