Golden Bird Entertainment announced at the Cannes Film Festival that they will soon commence operations of MUMBAI MEDIA CITY, India's largest Studio, Broadcast, Media Asset Management (MAM), and Media School Facility in Kandivali, Mumbai.
This
Hollywood-benchmarked facility is aimed to provide Indian and International
Film and TV crews with Sound Stages, Equipment Hire and Post-production, VFX
and Animation, Rehearsal and Preview Theatres, Make-up Rooms and Hotel
Accommodation. The facility will also have an Auditorium for Local and Global
events like Award Functions, Music Nights, and Corporate Events.
MUMBAI
MEDIA CITY will also restore, digitize and monetize content archives of TV
networks and movie producers in its MAM centre in collaboration with the
world’s best technology brand in this sector. In addition, the studio will also
have broadcast uplink and downlink and a media school, both in partnership with
the number one international brands in the respective areas.
Golden
Bird Entertainment, in addition to MUMBAI MEDIA CITY, is also involved in
producing, financing and worldwide distribution of Indian and International
Film and TV projects. This comes at a much needed time where most of the key
discussions at Cannes Film Festival were focused on combining International
co-production opportunities with Indian production, financing, and distribution
power.
Commenting
on the same at Cannes, Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB)
Secretary Mr. Uday Kumar Varma said, “MUMBAI MEDIA CITY perfectly complements
the recently commenced initiative of MIB for “Single Window Clearance” of
International shoots and Co-productions. The facility provides not only world
class shooting, post-production and all-India location shoot services but also
offers financing and worldwide distribution for such projects. I see large
possibilities of worldwide partnerships in Film and TV productions as
international projects increasingly have stories that are set in India”.
Mr.
Mohinder Walia, Founder and MD, Golden Bird Entertainment said, “The vision
behind MUMBAI MEDIA CITY is to be the first-of-its-kind-in-India world class
"One-stop shop" facility with a critical advantage of being
competitively priced and conveniently located right in the heart of Mumbai
city.
Formerly
the Managing Director of Fox Television Studios India, Mr. Walia added that he
has a private equity partner for MUMBAI MEDIA CITY and is looking for
additional financing.
