Media Konnect, a Filmmaker's Market, Launches With Over 10k Registered Users in First Four DaysMUMBAI, July 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- An Exclusive Global Media Exchange Platform to Strengthen Networking and Enhance Content Creation in Entertainment Industry A brainchild of industry veteran Ranjit Thakur, Media Konnect was officially unveiled as the only exclusive global media exchange and collaboration platform which content creators across the globe will benefit from in several ways. Media Konnect, headquartered in the Netherlands, aspires to connect the entire global entertainment fraternity through this ambitious mission. Mr. Ranjit Thakur, Founder and CEO of Krian Group, has initiated this platform with an aim to provide end-to-end solutions for anyone who wishes to create any type of content bringing together talent exchange, collaboration and increased revenue opportunities to the entire industry. The core concept of Media Konnect was borne out of addressing key industry challenges, observed and experienced by the pioneers, and now, the younger generation, who are aspiring to be a part of this vibrant and exciting industry. The biggest challenges in the industry today are the cost of content creation, losses due to lack of market understanding, distribution limitations, and an absence of actual ground intelligence. For most filmmakers, the biggest challenge lies in the inability to identify, connect, and collaborate with talent across different specialization at commercially viable terms needed to turn an idea into reality that can actually be profitable. Media Konnect looks to address these issues by giving a platform for professionals across a variety of specializations to connect, disuss and transform the filmmaker's idea into a film. Media Konnect has successfully launched with a base of over 10,500 registered users on its website, and will continue to gain reception globally. Mr. Ranjit Thakur, elaborated on his experience, "I have been fortunate to have been a part of this industry for more than two decades across both the Indian and International Film community. The basic premise of Media Konnect is for industry professionals around the world to firstly connect with each other, subsidies/grants to be explored in each country, content to be created at lower costs without compromising creativity and ultimately the revenue opportunities to be exploited to its maximum potential. " To extend industry support to the Media Konnect team, guests from Indian and International entertainment circuits notably Lorelle Yee, Director of Marketing at Screens Producers Australia; Mahesh Narayanan, Managing Director of Saavn; Jamshed Mistry, Advocate and Senior Counsel in the Central Government Panel; and Jeffrey Goldberg, writer, director and actor who heads the Jeff Goldberg Studio in Bandra; Anupam Sharma, film director, producer and actor from Australia; and Viveck Vaswani, writer, actor and producer who moderated the session, were present and highlighted their perspectives and insights towards the need of a platform like Media Konnect along with the impact it can create on the growth of the industry. Speaking about the platform, Ranjit highlighted that, "Media Konnect is not a casting agency, instead covers the entire spectrum of global connections in the content creation and collaboration space. Its versatility stretches from getting subsidy from any country required to make a film to selling the remake rights of a script, to a language a producer would have otherwise never thought of. At the end of the day, Media Konnect will be an online film market with more versatility and flexibility than any film festival in the world." Media Konnect will be available globally as a web platform as well as on Android Google Play with phased launches in many key global regions over the next quarter to add on to major film markets like in India, China, Mexico, France, USA, and the UK. The digital collaboration platform already has participation intent from Hollywood. Other International Studios and several influential industry personalities in several countries have opted to be of use and support to this global exchange platform to connect minds, ideas and talent together. About Media Konnect Media Konnect will be the first global online portal, which will provide end-to-end solutions for all filmmakers across the world irrespective of their country or the language in which they would like to make their film.
