PopCorn Film Club is an initiative of ITW Solutions LLP, a 15-year-old creative agency based in Bangalore, India. PopCorn, that so very essential munch, that makes a movie, well a movie! Without it, the drama isn’t quite there.

At the PopCorn Film Club, Performers, Creators, and Storytellers come together to create stories that celebrate diverse thought, foster vibrant conversation, and make an interactive community. Your next spark of curiosity and inspiration is only a dialogue away!

PopCorn Short Film Contest is a yearly competition that began in 2020.

The goal of the PopCorn Short Film Contest is to assist writers/filmmakers in creating their first short film by educating and guiding them through the various stages of filmmaking, from script to screen.

We believe that everyone who would love to make a film should try at least one attempt. It is about the journey, the education, and the experience, rather than a lingering ‘What If’ moment.
