Netflix and India’s Film Companion are collaborating for a second time on the TakeTen workshop and competition. 

This year’s event cuts the number of participants in half but expands their brief from short films to short series. 

The two companies say the programme, launched in 2022, aims to discover and support underrepresented filmmakers from across India. 

This year’s five participants will each have their short series fully funded. 

The length of each series has not been confirmed.  

The series will stream on Netflix India’s YouTube channel.

Last year’s winners were each given US$10,000 to make their films. 

The size of this year’s prizes has not been confirmed.
