About Friday Grid

By Friday Pictures, Hyderabad

Making a film takes hundreds of hands — a DOP in Hyderabad, an art director building a period set, a Dolby mixing stage, a distributor in Ceded, a single-screen theatre in Kachiguda. Today, finding them still runs on phone calls, WhatsApp forwards, and "ఎవరైనా తెలుసా?" (does anyone know someone?).

Friday Grid puts India's film industry on one searchable grid. Every craft, technician, vendor, and business function — discoverable, verified, and connected. Built first for Tollywood, designed for every Indian industry.

What you can do here

• Explore — browse vendors across five pillars: Production & Craft, Post-Production, Distribution & Exhibition, Support & Compliance, and Audience & Community.
• Verify & list — vendors verify their contact details, upload portfolios and showreels, and get reviewed by our moderators before going public.
• Build a production — shortlist vendors department-by-department on your Production Board with an indicative budget roll-up.
• Message directly — enquire with verified vendors right on the platform.
• Demand Engine — audiences signal which films they want in which theatres, creating a real demand signal for distributors and exhibitors.

How trust works on the Grid

• Every listing owner verifies a working contact (email code today, mobile OTP coming soon).
• Every listing is reviewed by a moderator before it appears publicly — the ✓ Verified badge means a human checked it.
• Union / association membership shows as an additional badge when confirmed.
• Anyone can report a listing; reports go to a moderation queue and are acted on.
• We are a directory, not a marketplace — no payments or escrow flow through Friday Grid, and rates shown are indicative starting points for direct negotiation.

Who we are

Friday Grid is built and operated by Friday Pictures, a Hyderabad-based film company. We built the Grid because we needed it ourselves — and every production we know needed it too.
