India's First Indie Film School
Delhi, India – Sankshay Babber, the visionary founder of Moon OTT, has announced another game-changing initiative: India’s First Indie Film School. While the official launch is yet to be finalized, preparations are underway for this groundbreaking effort to empower aspiring filmmakers across the country.
With 65 films to his credit and Moon OTT’s success as India’s first indie film platform, Sankshay Babber understands the challenges faced by filmmakers—financial hurdles, limited access, and a lack of practical training. His latest venture aims to break down these barriers.
“Traditional film schools are expensive and often fail to offer hands-on learning,” Babber said. “This school is about giving everyone the chance to bring their stories to life, regardless of background or budget.”
The Indie Film School is designed to provide practical, real-world experience and equip students for the evolving film industry. Key features include:
Students will produce films during their training and release them on OTT platforms, offering immediate exposure and practical learning.
Sankshay Babber’s journey has been about leveling the playing field for independent creators. Moon OTT proved that indie films could thrive in a space dominated by big-budget productions. Now, the Indie Film School is set to democratize film education.
“This isn’t just about teaching filmmaking—it’s about building a culture that values creativity over privilege,” Babber explained. “The myth that filmmaking requires heavy budgets and equipment is something I’ve already challenged on social media. Now it’s time to bring that change to education.”
The school is expected to open soon, inviting aspiring filmmakers nationwide to learn from Babber’s expertise and experience. Students will gain not only technical skills but also the confidence to navigate the film industry independently.
