A Short Story About Us

Filmabad was created because we believe that indie cinema is the heartbeat of authentic storytelling. We saw a world where creative voices were being drowned out by big-budget productions and felt compelled to build a space where emerging filmmakers could truly express themselves. Here, it's not just about making films—it's about fostering a community where raw talent, honest narratives, and experimental ideas come together to challenge the status quo and inspire real change.

Why we created Filmabad?
What do we do?

At Filmabad, we not only host hands-on workshops, film festivals, and community events to nurture indie cinema, but we also produce our own content and short films that showcase fresh, authentic voices. We actively empower independent filmmakers by offering funding opportunities, helping them bring their creative visions to life. Through these combined efforts, we build a supportive ecosystem that champions originality, sparks meaningful conversations, and drives real change in the world of film.
