CineMaya is a 21-day, fully immersive filmmaking residency set on the monsoon-washed beaches of Arambol, North Goa.
Designed for India’s next wave of indie creators (writers, directors, DOPs, editors, sound artists), the program blends disciplined craft training with the serendipity of communal living.
Each sunrise begins with yoga and breath-work to reset body and mind; every afternoon is packed with hands-on camera labs, script workshops and mentor master-classes; nights wind down with curated screenings, beach bonfires and open-mic jams. Across three structured weeks — Story Development, Crew-Based Production and Post-Production/Showcase — participants write, shoot and finish short projects while forging a life-long creative tribe.
Whether you join as a Day-Pass Creator, share a Crew-House, or retreat to a private Director’s Den, CineMaya delivers the same promise: to reboot your artistic instinct, elevate your technical skill-set and remind you that cinema is still very much alive.
