Subhash Ghai encourages the need of more Kid's Content

Filmmaker and visionary of Whistling Woods International, Subhash Ghai recently attended the prominent FICCI Frames Media & Entertainment Industry Conclave. The legendary director was a speaker amongst many of the top personalities like Ashish Kulkarni, Mukesh Khanna, M.Srinivasan, Rajiv Chilaka, Nishit Takia and Nina Jajpuria  who had gathered to discuss their opinions on the most crucial issue currently prevailing that India needs Kid's Content Act. 

The owner of the most established filmmaking and  media institute in Mumbai, Subhash Ghai commenced the discussion with his strong viewpoints that today's children lack the knowledge of their own Indian culture and values.  Children are the future of our country and the journey from a boy to a man is influenced by many people around him like his parents, school teachers, friends and most impactful one - Cinema. A young toddler has the most broadest vision as it is ready to think beyond any limits. The content which prevail currently make a child go away from his own culture and allows him to grab values of other countries. Kid's today are aware about foreign superheroes like Batman, Superman, Spiderman etc but little do they know about our Indian heroes who were in Mahabharat or Ramayan. These days younger lots feel talking or believing in our own culture is like an uncool thing. Therefore an act is strongly required to condemn our today's generation from being under the influence of west and this act should jointly be in effort with our directors, writers,distributors and all those who are behind the camera. Need of good content and creative people have to be recognized and  encouraged to make such kind of films which will educate our children. Recalling an incident, the director adds that once he had asked a MBA graduate student whether she was aware who was the father of lord Rama and the student didn't have any answer. The incident left a big thought in the director's mind that how the generation is lacking the knowledge of their own superheroes which are in large numbers in our vast history. 


Concluding the discussion on a positive note, the director shared that Whistling Woods has already initiated their bit in educating the youth by introducing creative art (dance, drama, poetry) in 110 CBSE schools and the number is still on counting. He ended by supporting a strong statement made from his co-panelist Nishit Takia that after Make in India we strongly need one 'Make an Indian'

Frame Your Idea has 3000+ meetings at FICCI FRAMES 2016

 ‘Frame Your Idea’ holds over 3000 meetings between idea owners and content producers at FICCI FRAMES
The biggest content pitch in India!

MUMBAI, Aril 1, 2016: After the resounding success of 2015, Frame Your Idea (FYI) under the aegis of FICCI FRAMES created an even greater access to content producers for those with a creative spark and the burning desire to achieve success in celluloid but no access to makers. 

Across the 3 days of FYI, over 3000 meetings fructified between 300 writers/idea owners & over 70 producers /studios/broadcasters as a part of the happenings at FICCI FRAMES 2016. 

These 3000 meetings were across the categories of Film, Animation, TV,  Documentary and the newly added Digital & Finished Content. 

The 70 or so FYI panelists consisted of content teams of producers, directors, studios, broadcasters and content aggregators, looking for that next big idea, story, script or finished content that they would want to grab and put out there.

In 2015, FICCI conceived and executed this ‘first of its kind’ forum in India called ‘Frame Your Idea’ (FYI) with the intention to create access for creative minds to pitch their ideas, stories or scripts to best content producers.

The forum was unveiled in 2015 at the 16th edition of FICCI FRAMES, an annual event of FICCI, which serves as a vital link between the media & entertainment industry and the policy makers.

Last year, out of the 650 meetings that were accomplished between 200 idea owners and 20 content producers (producers/broadcasters/studios), Mr. Siddhanta Ashdhir, an Engineer turned Writer/Entrepreneur and Mr. Nihit Bhave, a former  journalist, were signed as screenplay writers by a leading Studio & a heavyweight producer. DISNEY/UTV and Phantom Films were the two players which spotted and picked up the two fresh writers.
  
In 2016, with the hint of international participation of creative minds (Turkey, Nigeria, USA) and of course all parts of India FYI with its figures makes itself the only platform in the country of its kind & scale.
