For filmmakers & creators

Your film deserves a premiere, not a folder.

ZELVU Play premieres independent Indian films, web series and vertical micro-dramas to paying members and pay-per-view audiences across India and the diaspora. You keep your rights; we bring the audience and the payments.

What we look for

  • Feature films, short films, documentaries and web series in any Indian language, with subtitles or willing to add them.
  • Vertical micro-drama series (1–3 minute episodes shot for phones) and short-form creators who want a paid premiere home for their best work.
  • Clean chain of title: you hold the streaming rights, including music and performers, and can show it.
  • Completed films first; strong works-in-progress with a delivery date are welcome.

What happens next

  1. Submit the form with a private screener link. We watch everything ourselves.
  2. Within about 7 working days you hear back. Selected films receive a plain-language licence proposal: term, territory, exclusivity and the revenue split.
  3. You deliver the master (ProRes/H.264, 1080p or 4K) and artwork; we encode, schedule the premiere and promote it to members.
  4. Statements and payouts every month for the life of the licence.

Submit your film

No submission fee. By submitting you agree to our terms and privacy policy. Submission does not create a licence; a written agreement follows selection.
