The Meghalaya government has unveiled a film policy, highlighted local talent and launched an OTT platform to attract filmmakers to the state.
Meghalaya's state administration announced a comprehensive film policy aimed at making the region a preferred destination for movie production. The initiative underscores the availability of skilled local artists, technicians and support services that can cater to diverse cinematic projects.
The policy package includes incentives designed to lower production costs and streamline regulatory procedures, thereby encouraging both Indian and foreign filmmakers to consider the state's scenic locations and cultural backdrop. Officials said the move is part of a broader strategy to boost the creative economy and generate employment in ancillary sectors.
In parallel, the government has launched a dedicated over‑the‑top (OTT) platform to showcase content created in Meghalaya. The platform will feature films, documentaries and web series that highlight the state's heritage, aiming to provide creators with a direct distribution channel and audiences with authentic regional storytelling.
