With their entry into the Indian automotive market, Lexus has now launched its 'Lexus Short Films' competition here and is giving aspiring Indian filmmakers a chance to take their work to a global audience

Lexus Short Films

Lexus is well known for its luxury cars around the world. The design of its cars straightaway makes a statement of class. Now, the Japanese carmaker has opened entries to its short filmmaking competition - 'Lexus Short Films', which is held at a global level. This competition is organised with the collaboration of The Weinstein Company and has come to India for the first time in its 4th season. Every season, Lexus comes up with a theme around which the filmmakers base their stories and for this season, the theme is 'Transformation'. This theme, as Lexus says, "is born from the Lexus brand’s belief that amazing things happen when you transform the ordinary into extraordinary."
