Actor, producer, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate Deepika Padukone marks her birthday by launching an initiative to empower the next generation of creative talent. Continuing her commitment to nurturing authentic storytelling and fresh talent, Deepika today announced the launch of ‘The OnSet Program’, the next chapter of her Create With Me platform, aimed at empowering aspiring creative artists to pursue a career in Indian film, television and advertising industry — a platform for promising talent to be “seen, heard, and experienced.”
While the program will provide training opportunities to promising talent, it will also function as a launch play-field for individuals who have the relevant expertise and experience to lead their own projects. Writing, direction, camera, lighting, editing, sound designing, art direction, costume designing, hair styling, make-up artistry and production are the departments that will be available as part of the program’s first phase.
“This past year, I’ve been feeling very strongly about identifying incredible creative talent from across the country and beyond and giving them a platform to be seen, heard and experienced. I am beyond thrilled to announce the launch of The OnSet Program and truly cannot wait to introduce all of you to the next generation of creative talent.” – Deepika Padukone
Building on her vision to identify creative talent from the country and beyond, The OnSet Program by Deepika Padukone can now be further explored online where individuals can send in their work and stand a chance to work with the best in the business.
