New Filming Guidelines at Miranda House
Miranda House Filming Policy
Ensuring the Integrity of Our Institution
Background
In response to the controversy surrounding the Amazon Prime series "Ziddi Girls," Miranda House is finalizing a formal filming policy. The series depicted a fictional college, "Matilda House," that bore a striking resemblance to Miranda House, prompting concerns about the institution's public image.
Policy Overview
The new filming policy aims to ensure that all future creative projects align with the values and reputation of Miranda House. The college seeks to protect its legacy while allowing for controlled media productions on campus.
Key Points of the Policy
- Filmmakers must submit a detailed proposal—including the script, project overview, and depiction plan—at least 15 days prior to filming.
- The college administration will review and approve projects, ensuring alignment with Miranda House’s values and reputation.
- Filming must avoid disruption to academic activities, students, and faculty on campus.
- Deviations from the approved script under claims of “creative license” are prohibited.
- A formal contract will be signed post-approval specifying conditions including compensation for any damages.
- The final footage must be reviewed by the college before release, with required edits made if necessary.
- The college name and logo cannot be used in credits, promotions, or branding without explicit approval.
- Violations of the policy may result in legal action or permanent bans on future filming requests.
Accountability & Integrity
Miranda House emphasizes legal accountability and preservation of its legacy. Commercial gain has never been the motivation for granting filming rights. The policy ensures all shoots are supervised, uphold academic sanctity, and protect the institution’s image.
Commitment to Values
The college remains dedicated to its 77-year legacy of women's education and empowerment. This filming policy serves as a guideline to safeguard its reputation while balancing creative expression under responsible and respectful conditions.
