Hinterland
Duration : 19min
A jungle. That was the brief. Just make it a jungle.
Hinterland is the story of a space that refuses to show you everything at once. Every step reveals something unexpected a sunlit ape, ancient mango trees, boulders that became benches. A home that doesn't just sit in nature. It leans in and grins.

Bidri Craft & Modern Design
Duration : 1min
In the ancient stones of Bidar, a craft whispers. Bidri born from fire and earth, metal and silver, light and darkness is more than an art form. It is memory, made tangible.
This is a film about what happens when heritage meets the modern world. And refuses to apologise for either.
