What we make

One studio. Every department.

Script, storyboard, animation or shoot, visual effects, music, sound, colour, subtitles and dubbing: one director carries your film from the first idea to the final master. No chain of vendors, no margin on margin, one accountable name.

Eighteen years of cinema

Live-action craft behind every frame

Before the animated films came eighteen years of live-action filmmaking: feature films, a broadcast web series, short films, advertisements, corporate films, documentaries and music videos, made with cinema cameras, real locations and hundreds of actors.

Eight feature films, including Avataran, the first science-fiction feature of Assam, with more than 1,500 visual-effects shots, and Adhorua, a feature of three hours and sixteen minutes written, shot, cut and scored by one hand. Clients include IIT Guwahati, the Government of Assam and HPCL.
