Feature Film Production · Bangalore

Feature film production, from script to DCP

Line production, shoot services, post production and finishing for feature films — with a crew that has lived on Kantara, 777 Charlie and Gandhada Gudi sets.

( The gap we see )

Where most feature production work falls short.

01

Line producers who don’t know post

Budgets that ignore DI, VFX and sound are budgets that blow up in the final month.

02

Ad-film crews scaling up to features

Feature pace is not ad-film pace. Wrong rhythm, wrong schedule, wrong call sheets.

03

Five vendors, no continuity

When DOP, edit, DI and sound come from five rooms, the film pays the price on screen.

( FAQ )

Questions, answered.

Do you take on full feature production or only support roles?+

Both. We take on full line production and post, and we also plug in as DOP, editor, DI colourist or VFX house on features produced by other companies.

What does a feature film engagement cost?+

Feature scopes range widely. A tight independent feature may land at ₹1–3 Cr, while larger Kannada or pan-Indian productions can run ₹5–50 Cr+. We scope transparently against the script and shot plan.

Which feature films has the team worked on?+

Credits include Kantara (2022), 777 Charlie (2022), Gandhada Gudi, Kotee (2024) and SHPSK (National Award for Best Children’s Film, 2018).

Do you handle censor, festival and OTT delivery?+

Yes. Censor masters, festival packages, DCP creation and OTT-spec deliverables are all handled in-house.
