About Us | ABC Talkies

Built For The Ones Who Never Had a Way In.

You’ve made your film. On borrowed equipment. With friends as crew. Shot in one take, edited on your laptop, mixed in headphones. But now what?

If you upload it to YouTube, it might get lost. If you pitch it to an OTT platform, chances are—you won’t even hear back. You don’t have a godfather. You don’t have access.
That’s why we created ABC Talkies.

Capabilities

What is ABC Talkies?

01.

ABC Talkies is the world’s first truly open-access streaming platform for aspiring, emerging, and independent filmmakers.

No industry contacts? No formal education?
No problem.

We believe if you’ve told a story, you deserve to share it—and earn from it.
And if that story connects with the audience, you deserve to grow with it.

Who Is It For?

It’s also for viewers tired of remakes and recycled cinema—looking for raw, regional, honest storytelling that OTTs often ignore.

Young, first-time, or self-taught filmmakers
Film school students and indie creators
Creators who want to test stories without waiting for selection
Producers and small studios seeking OTT / in-flight distribution

We Go Beyond Just Streaming

ABC Talkies is not just a platform—
it’s a monetization and distribution engine.

For commercial and professional filmmakers, we also help:

  • Distribute films to OTT platforms, TV channels, airlines, and FAST networks
  • Monetize via remake rights, regional dubbing, and satellite sales
  • Launch white-label OTT platforms with built-in monetization
  • Package content for brand tie-ups and syndication

Our Flagship IP: The
Big Shorts Challenge

In addition to being an open-access platform, ABC Talkies has built its own proprietary contest IP—The Big Shorts Challenge.

Unlike traditional film festivals, where only a select few are screened and judged by a jury, the Big Shorts Challenge puts every qualifying film directly in front of the public.

Here’s how it works:

All eligible films go live—no selection or rejection

Viewers decide what wins through actual viewership and ratings

Filmmakers earn ₹1 per valid view

They learn to promote, position, and pitch their films

Winners get jury awards, and the top director receives a ₹1,00,000 production grant

Challenge

The Challenge has already run successful regional editions (Tamil, Malayalam, and more).
It’s more than a competition—it’s a real-world simulation of distribution, traction, and creative entrepreneurship.

We’re building:

What’s Coming Next

  • An AI-powered short film toolkit to help creators scale quality
  • A rights marketplace to sell your content globally
  • A micro-funding initiative for promising creators
  • Smart OTT plugins for filmmakers, festivals, and media houses
