Founder's Message
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Indian Film and Digital Producers Association!
As the founder, it is both an honor and a privilege to share my vision for this organization, which was born from my own journey and the countless stories I’ve encountered of the struggles faced by producers in our industry. Each day, we witness talented and hardworking producers navigating a labyrinth of procedures, from title registrations to obtaining publicity clearances and various approvals. What should be a straightforward process often spirals into weeks—even months—of paperwork and red tape, stifling creativity and creating unnecessary tension in what should be a profession focused on artistic expression.
Having observed these hurdles firsthand, I knew there was a pressing need for an organization that not only empathizes with producers but actively works to alleviate their challenges. This realization became the driving force behind the establishment of the Indian Film and Digital Producers Association. Our mission goes beyond providing a platform for networking; it’s about advocating for our members, simplifying processes, and, ultimately, creating a more efficient and supportive environment for filmmakers.
Through this association, we aim to bridge the gaps in our industry by providing streamlined services, whether that means cutting through bureaucratic delays, offering resources to help producers navigate complex regulations, or advocating for fair policies that protect and empower our members. This association is not just a support system but also a champion for innovation and positive change. We believe that producers should be able to focus on what they do best—creating compelling stories—without the constant weight of administrative obstacles.
I invite each of you to join us in building a community that values and uplifts the essential role of producers. Together, we can shape an industry where efficiency, fairness, and creativity thrive. Thank you for being a part of this journey, and welcome to a new chapter in Indian film and digital production!
Warm regards,
Priya Nair
