Howdy! Salutations! Companions! After spreading colors all across the world with ‘Colored Glasses On’ We are now embarking on a new journey with ‘Filmontary’. Over the years we have achieved and collaborated with clients across the globe. Well! We don’t want to boast but there are some little names in our kitty like Google, Disney, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg Originals, Voice of America, CGTN News, China Plus, Fairfleet, Business Insider, BMW, The Länd, McGraw Hill, Oxford University Press Pocket FM, Jung Von Matt among them. We don’t even travel enough it’s just that we have worked across the globe in Norway, Sweden, United States, United Kingdom, Ethiopia, Niger, Nigeria, France, UAE, Switzerland, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Israel, Yemen, Bahrain, Albania, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Democratic Republic of Congo. Jokes Apart it’s all because we have been able to garner and develop relations with clients and partners across the globe to bring about the best of their visions. The most valuable asset in media and films is relations. The efforts, the casting, the production, the design, the big machinery, the cameras, the lenses, the dollies, the jibs are just an outcome of those relations. We collaborate and create the reason why we have adopted the name ‘Filmontary’. A term that signifies this amalgamation of ‘Films’ & ‘Documentaries’. Kudos!

I am a self-shooting producer-director. I have been trained at the BBC in UK in filmmaking and have over eight years of experience working on various productions ranging from print to digital to tv to theatrical with almost all major broadcasters and platforms. While I specialise in cinematic shooting, I am flexible and adaptive to the vision of the platform, brand and producer. Whether it's an artistic shoot or coverage or ASMR or 360degree, I cover them all. I work with minimal crew and mostly with my own equipment unless the production requires very specific equipment. I am always curious to hear of new, unheard stories and discuss unique ways of presenting for one's target audience.

I am an Indian filmmaker and cinematographer. My work explores themes of memory, place and identity, with a focus on women and children. Most recently, I worked as a creative producer and editor on 'Tiffin', a short fiction film about the alienation felt by Muslim children in an increasingly right-wing India. I helmed the camera for ‘Hotel Naaz’, a short documentary about a third-generation Muslim Woman, who unwittingly rediscovers her relationship with her grandfather as she traces the history of their family hotel- Naaz Hotel and Purani Dilli. Other works include ‘Cities and Lovers’ and ‘Hum Jinns’, which have been video art projects on exploring the concept of space, love and personal identities in the changing landscape of urban life. I completed my Masters in Mass Communication, from AJK MCRC New Delhi, and have a Bachelors Honour degree in Political Science from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Delhi University. Currently, I am pursuing Electronic Cinematography at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune. Besides Film and Media, I have actively practise theatre and music. And, I enjoy photographing in quaint streets.

I am Sachin Sundareshan Pillai. I am a film-maker and I alternate roles between Director/DOP and sometimes Editor. I have been in Mumbai eight years, having done an initial stint in television where I learnt the basics of the more technical parts of the profession. Ever since then, I've been involved in every aspect of the business with each project I have spearheaded- from shoot to final play-out level mostly editing my own films. Off-late though, after a very fruitful 1 year in advertising as a DA, and 4 years of freelance i've developed a bank of visual styles over the years. Whether it is combining live action and graphics or purely synthesising visual imagery using effects and filters on set. I like to look at it as developing a mix of old school and current sensibilities.

I am a multi-media journalist with experience of over a decade in television and digital (video and audio) news mediums. From weathering tough terrain for crisis reportage to getting voices that matter and being one of the few journalists to cover the biggest international story in early 2019 (the Sri Lanka terror attack) — I go wherever the story takes me. I was one of the few journalists in South Asia to have received a fellowship with MSF (Reporters Without Borders) in 2023 to cover the health impact of sexual and gender-based violence. I am passionate about everything that comes with the process of unraveling real issues, especially ones with gender narratives. Combined with my ability to write, edit, and shoot, I have an all-round approach to my work as a multi-media journalist.
