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 16^th 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.
