Top Film Production Startups in 2024

Bootstrapped, profitable since day 1. We are building the #1 Audiovisual Platform by combining AI with trusted language experts to produce high-quality transcriptions, subtitles, and closed captions at speed. Transcription and subtitling services are required in many different industries to support today’s international business landscape, and whilst this sounds simple, it is often difficult to find an effective solution. Whilst there are many transcription and subtitling services online, they are usually expensive when accurate, inaccurate when cheap, and lack the tools that companies need to apply them effectively. Happy Scribe provides an AI-driven transcription and subtitling service online, allowing users to translate its automated services across over 60 languages, integrate and apply it through an interactive editing tool, and integrate it with APIs such as Youtube's closed captions. The company claims its automated AI-driven solution is up to 85% accurate, but users can pay for human-interrupted services to reach 99%+ accuracy. Whilst Happy Scribe will inevitably face competition from existing transcription solutions, the company still shows a cutting edge by providing an end-to-end online workflow and deployment toolkit. Furthermore, by employing a workforce of translators and language experts, the company’s human-interrupted AI transcription solution goes beyond the language capabilities of existing services.

Everyset makes film & TV productions more environmentally sustainable and less expensive to produce.

FilmUp's software enabled film studios and film production companies to staff, manage, and pay crew across all their productions.

We built SAGA, a Generative AI-powered app for filmmakers (writeonsaga.com).

It also includes a storyboard assistant tool, which scans your screenplay and generates a set of storyboards and look-book visuals based on your ideas and script.

We believe that storytelling is the universal currency of existence. OWLED is a testament to the fact that a story can change the world. A story that a young kid repeated to himself, is now India’s fastest growing Creative Tech Agency. **OWLED** is a collective of creative forces that helps brands scale their presence through content and technology Not just any brands, but some of the biggest brands in the world, from the likes of HP, Estee Lauder, Disney+, CRED, PhonePe, Licious and about 150+ more! And for the passion that this world has blessed me with - I’m here to make sure that I pay back by building the most creative, trustworthy and results-driven creative network that brands absolutely love. Many agencies end up doing everything for everyone without much thought and continue to expand services - thereby losing the specialization that they were known for. Other specialized agencies also find it difficult to meet the demands of a large brand or give out strategies that are either not 360 degree or not thought through  at all. So clearly, there’s a gap in both of these methods. This is when, the OWLED, as we know today, was conceptualised. We’re three companies at the moment that are led by highly specialised teams: **1. OWLED Media** -  it’s a production house and a content studio, where we help brands and other other agencies with - Brand & Marketing campaigns, TV or digital commercials, 2D, 3D animations, video production and design - tonnnnsss of design etc. Anything videos or design, from conceptualisation to production. **2. OWLED Social** - This is our digital marketing arm. From video first social media strategies that actually work, combined with our solid tech team driving AR led campaigns, SEO, paid marketing, newsletters and a lot more **3. SocialTag** - At Social tag, we amplify a brand’s reach with strategy-led Influencer marketing campaigns and manage some of your favourite and biggest creators in the ever growing creator economy.
