Why Outreach Media Services Pvt. Ltd? • OMSPL is the pioneer in line production in Marathi cinema. Most of the people think that line production is just taking money from the producer and making a film and handing it over. We at Outreach give true value to the money invested by the producer. WE make films not only to satisfy the creative urge but also with thorough business sense.

We believe that though film making is a creative process, it is also a business which has to be done with proper research and analysis.

The films which OMSPL has executed are examples of such business sense, not a single film

has gone over the agreement value. • All the three directors of OMSPL have field experience in the three most vital areas of film making: Scripts, Direction and Production. They have independent projects as writer, director and executive producers. We will not only make films but also see to it that they are distributed and they reach the audience in the remotest of the places, for this we will have our own network of distribution. • At no point in the entire process of making we will depend, or hand over the project in the hands of the third party.

Each and every aspect of the film making will be handled or supervised by the experts in the company itself. • In a very short span of two years OMSPL has created a very good impression as a thorough professional entity. We have good relations and rapport with all the big names be it actors and technicians in the industry

MARATHI FILM INDUSTRY: The Marathi Feature film industry has flourished in the last few years especially since the golden moment for Shwaas.

Since then the Marathi Feature Film Industry has witnessed a sea-change. Strong content has always been the forte of Marathi Cinema & with the success of Shwaas, the industry got back what it needed the most- its Audience. Over the past few years, we have witnessed a steady rise in collections of Marathi Films.

To add to it, the Government of Maharashtra is supporting attempts at progressive cinema with a subsidy of up to Rs. 3 million.

The revenues too have seen immense growth and the Marathi Industry which used to barely talk of a few lakhs, is now talking in crores. The recent examples are Valu, Sade Made Teen, De Dhakka, Checkmate and many more, all of which have grossed in crores. The satellite & video rights too are fetching good money.
