Executive Producer

The

Executive Producer

will be a senior, highly proactive leader within

Beyond Pictures’

production team, responsible for driving the successful development, production and delivery of films (and associated content) in the Tamil-film ecosystem. The role demands outstanding networking across talent, financiers, distributors, OTT platforms, music labels, and studios; strong negotiation and deal-closing ability; exceptional project-management skills; and the ability to ensure that projects reflect the brand promise of

“Dream → Create → Transcend”.

Key Responsibilities :

a) Deal-making & Networking

Cultivate, maintain and expand high-level relationships with key stakeholders in the Tamil film industry — A-list / character actors, directors, composers, lyricists, producers, music labels, OTT acquisitions, trade associations and financiers.

Identify and secure strategic partnerships : co-productions, international sales, OTT licence deals, music-rights deals, sponsorship and branding tie-ups.

Lead negotiations on key contracts : talent deals, director / crew onboarding, music-rights agreements, theatrical / distribution contracts, OTT / TV rights, merchandising / licensing.

Present and pitch projects externally : prepare pitch decks, financial models, talent-line-ups, marketing / roll-out strategies to stakeholders and investors.

Monitor industry trends (Tamil Nadu, Pan-India, overseas Tamil diaspora) and proactively leverage emerging opportunities (e.g., new OTT windowing, international festival circuits, brand integrations).

b) Project Oversight & Production Leadership

Oversee film (or series) projects from early concept through development, pre-production, production, post-production, marketing, release and ancillary windows.

Work closely with Producer and Creative Producer to align on creative vision, budgets, schedules, and commercial objectives.

Establish and monitor production budgets, cost-control frameworks, revenue-share models, profit-participation terms.

Manage risk and contingency planning across all phases – schedule slippages, budget overruns, regulatory / licensing issues (e.g., censor board, film-unit permits, Studio / Studio Complexes).

Coordinate with production units (line producers, production managers, location scouts, art department, legal / compliance, finance, distribution) to ensure smooth execution.

Ensure timely delivery of materials (dailies, edits, locked picture, music masters, assets for marketing) and drive release readiness (certification, prints / digital, marketing collateral, premiere logistics).

c) Revenue & Commercial Management

Define revenue streams and monetisation plans : theatrical, digital / OTT, satellite, music, global rights (Singapore / Malaysia / US / UK, Middle-East), merchandising / licensing, ancillary (airlines / hotels).

Negotiate favourable terms for the company : ensure minimum guarantees, recoupment hurdles, backend participation, co-production agreements with clear IP / rights ownership.

Monitor film P&L, reporting to senior management : track actual vs budget, analyse performance, propose corrective actions.

Work with marketing / distribution teams to optimise release calendar (Tamil and non-Tamil markets), plan dubbed versions, regional strategies, festival premieres, awards campaigns.

d) Leadership & Collaboration

Build and lead a high-performance team : production executives, business affairs staff, legal counsel, liaison officers, marketing / distribution associates.

Act as a key liaison between the creative (directors, writers, composers) and business (finance, distribution, legal) sides — translating creative ambition into commercially viable frameworks.

Foster a culture of accountability, visibility and results-orientation : ensure tasks are tracked, timelines met, budgets controlled, and stakeholder expectations managed.

Serve as key brand ambassador for Beyond Pictures : represent the company at industry events, film markets (e.g., Cannes, AFM, IFFI), networking dinners, trade associations (e.g., TFPC, Film Producers’ Council).

Experience in multi-language / OTT-first projects and international co-productions.

Prior relationships with global / Indian sales agents, festival circuits, and international financiers.

Exposure to branded-content, streaming-series, short-form digital content in addition to theatrical films.

j). Working Conditions

Predominantly site-based in Chennai (Kotturpuram office) with frequent travel : locations in Tamil Nadu, other Indian states, and international markets (Singapore, Malaysia, Middle East, US / UK) as required.
