Stone Bench Creations, a technology driven organization in the entertainment sector

Karthik Subbaraj of Pizza and Jigarthanda fame is launching Stone Bench creations on the 10th of

November. Stone Bench is an technology driven organization in the entertainment industry that

will bring creators, talents and viewers together. This would help short film makers,

independent film makers, aspiring talents and regional film makers who want to

internationalize their movies.

Karthik began his film-making career with a short film, which made it to Nalaya Iyakkunar. This

acted as a platform for him to taste success in feature films. This made him realize the need for

a platform to produce short films, bring in revenues to producers of short films and connect

artists with film makers. This has resulted in Stone Bench creations, a technology driven

company that strives to deliver value to creators, talents and viewers.

Stone Bench will be launching 3 products:

Bench Flix – catalyzing the short film renaissance: Independent films and short films are

gaining traction; however they have not reached the scale and scope to sustain itself like

mainstream movies. Bench Flix is a distribution hub that focuses on delivering Reach,

Recognition and Revenue to the independent and short film segments by distributing the

movies across channels like theatres, television, in-flight entertainment and mobile platforms.

In addition, it will help generate revenue through our pay-if-you-like model. You can visit

www.benchflix.com to view our short film collection. The first theatrical release of Bench Flix is

‘Bench Talkies – The First Bench’ which is scheduled to be released this December.

Bench cast – Redefining casting: Bench cast is a maiden venture in India that allows aspiring

actors to realize their dreams and seize the opportunities. It facilitates film makers to tap fresh

talents from across the country. We will cover the entire gamut of casting needs of the

entertainment industry. Our platform www.benchcast.com is a comprehensive technological

solution for casting in the entertainment industry developed to streamline the currently

unorganized casting function.

Bench subs – Gateway to globalize films: Bench subs will deliver subtitling for movies, which

will enable regional movies to reach global audiences. We will regionalize regional content

through powerful and emotive translations, while successfully carrying the context, mood and

the creator’s touch to the scene. We have already done this for about 20 movies.

We request the press and media friends to support our new venture that will largely benefit the

creators, talents and the viewers. Your support and encouragement will be an immense

motivation for us in our endeavors.
