Mumbai, May 2026 — ProducerLAND, Storiculture's flagship producer-first initiative, has launched Co-Pro Access 2026 in partnership with Tasveer — the only Oscar-qualifying South Asian film festival in the world — and Institut Français, the cultural and cooperation service of the French Embassy in India. The Producers Guild of India and EAVE (European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs) join as programme partners.
Co-Pro Access 2026 is a targeted accelerator for feature-length fiction and documentary projects in advanced development, designed to prepare them for co-production, financing, and partnership engagement. It is not an early-stage development lab.
Co-Pro Access runs across two phases.
A virtual lab in the first week of July will offer each project tailored one-to-one mentorship alongside shared masterclasses across fiction and non-fiction tracks.
Industry Days follow in the fourth week of July in Mumbai, designed as a conversion-focused platform : structured one-to-one meetings and decision-maker roundtables, with no passive audiences. Selected projects will also receive project grants.
The programme will select eight fiction and eight non-fiction projects. Applications close May end 2026.
About the Programme
Sessions are structured around four areas: co-production readiness and positioning; financing strategy and budget architecture; materials and pitch development.
The programme is open to producers with prior credits, attached to projects with completed feature-length screenplays.
Applicants must submit a full shooting script (SWA registered or equivalent if out of India), director's statement, producer's vision, details of financing secured, a pitch deck with a clear ask, and a note of intention outlining the project's suitability for
co-production.
Co-Pro Access builds on ProducerLAND's existing programme slate.
The platform's recently concluded Creative Development Lab, in collaboration with
The Writers Lab International (USA), supported nine writer-producer teams in its first edition. In November 2025, a Transmedia Lab brought together nine participants and global mentors including Liam Young and Jeff Gomez.
Applications are open now at https://www.thestoriculturecompany.com/co-proaccesslab
Deadline: End of May 2026.
