We're building our slate.
Build it with us.
Bring us a film, a show, a microdrama or a documentary. Make it on ARC with our team behind you, and release it as a Xanadu Original.
For professional filmmakers. Any country. Any language.
What we're looking for
Bold ideas. Meaningful cinema.
Stories that push the limits of storytelling, from filmmakers who want them to mean something. Tell it in any language, from anywhere in the world.
Films
One story, told start to finish.
Shows
Episodic series, with characters that hold from one episode to the next.
Microdramas
Short, serialised drama, made for the phone screen.
Documentaries
Real stories, told with a filmmaker's eye.
Made on ARC
From full-length films to animation
A twenty-minute Hindi feature. A period piece. A microdrama, a music video, an animated short. Every one of them made on ARC. Watch what it can carry before you pitch.
