World Films Communities Network (WFCN) is a film submission platform and web application which acts as an online marketplace for film, media and entertainment industry.[1][2][3] The digital platform is founded by Shailik Bhaumik in 2019 with the aim to bring the global entertainment business in one palette.[4][5][6]
The platform provides creators with tools to create custom content pages (landing pages), promote their content, submit it to international creative contests and finally selling their products without going through intermediaries.[7][8]
WFCN introduces a decentralized economic model that empowers audio-visual creators and fosters a community-driven ecosystem within the film industry.[9]
In July 2024, WFCN raised Rs. 150 Crore crowdfunding.[10]
