His company, 2D Entertainment, focuses on quality content ensuring entertainment with a difference by nurturing innovative talent and utilizing the best of technology.

We are extremely happy with the response to Moviebuff First Clap Season 2 and are thankful to Knack Studios for processing the post production of all the short listed movies. And Little Shows team for managing the process so efficiently. The response clearly vindicates our belief that an honest & popular platform is required to showcase the fresh talent that would otherwise be lost in a crowd due to sheer lack of a suitable opportunity. Across the 200 screens and over 5 weeks, we expect that nearly 50 Lakh viewers will have an opportunity to view these films and that is tremendous exposure for these aspiring film makers! We thank all QUBE network theatres for supporting this initiative. For aspiring filmmakers - to watch their work on the silver screen along with the audience in various cities and towns is THE EXPERIENCE they live for. says Arvind Ranganathan, Chief Executive Officer of Qube Cinema Technologies (QUBE).
