Film and Media Club IPEC

What Film and Media Club IPEC does

Film and Media Club IPEC (FMC) is the official photography and filmmaking club of Inderprastha Engineering College in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Founded in March 2022 by Naman Mehra and Sakshar Sharma, the club operates as a non-commercial, student-led organization providing photography, videography, video editing, and graphic-design services primarily to the IPEC campus community, with secondary external reach through regional and national inter-college competitions (AKTU State Level, IIT Delhi Rendezvous, IFP, IEEE).

The club's outputs span four product areas: (1) core event coverage — aftermovies such as UDBHAV 2023/2024/2025 and documentation of college festivals including Convocation 2025 and AEGIS MUN 2025; (2) original short films made for external competitions, including EK KADAM (IFP 2022), Nazraana (IFP 2023), TRAP, and PAATR (both 2024); (3) music videos such as Parinda (June 2024) and Pick Up the Phone (December 2024); and (4) the FASANA exploration series documenting Delhi heritage sites. Distribution is via a branded YouTube channel, Instagram (@fmc.ipec), LinkedIn (FMC IPEC company page), and an official website (fmc.ipec.org.in) launched in February 2025.

The business model is explicitly non-revenue-generating. The club is funded through college resources and volunteer student effort, offers services free of charge to the campus community, and reports no commercial pricing, no funding rounds, no parent organization, and no external investors. Growth is measured in creative output volume, competition placements, and team size — the core team grew to approximately 20-25 members across photography, creative, graphics, social media, technical, and IT/AIML sub-heads for the 2025-26 batch — rather than in financial scale. Notable recognition includes two AKTU Gold Medals in 2024 photography, a 3rd place at IIT Delhi Rendezvous 2024, and 1st place at IEEE Day 2024 in the long-format video category.
