Brand films · Commercials · Corporate
Give your story the scale of an epic.
The studio behind The Odyssey and Mahagatha makes films for brands: researched, written and directed with the same care, and delivered faster than a traditional shoot.
What we make
Three kinds of film
Brand films
Your story, told with the weight of cinema: origin stories, manifestos and campaign films that people choose to watch.
- Brand and founder stories
- Campaign hero films
- Launch films
- Cut-downs for every platform
Commercials
Spots built for attention in the first three seconds and remembered after the last, for TV, OTT, YouTube and social.
- TVC and OTT spots
- Pre-roll and bumpers
- Vertical and social cuts
- Hindi and English versions
Corporate & documentary
Films that explain what you do and why it matters, with research and sources behind every claim.
- Corporate and investor films
- Product and technology explainers
- Documentaries and histories
- Event and CSR films
Why Sutra Films
Cinema-grade worlds, without a cinema-sized shoot.
Worlds you could not otherwise film. Ancient cities, oceans in a storm, the inside of a machine or a moment in history: we build the picture your story needs, not the one a location allows.
Story before spectacle. We start with research and a script. The images serve the story, never the other way round.
India and the world. Hindi and English from the first draft, with subtitles and versions for every market and platform.
Honest about the tools. We use generative imagery and voices where they serve the film, work only with material you have the rights to, and never depict real people without their consent.
How we work
From brief to master
Research
Sources and facts first. No script is written before the research is.
Script
A cold open, a three-act story and a voice that fits the audience.
Look
One look bible per film; characters and costumes locked before a frame is made.
Image & sound
Pictures, voices, music and sound design, each checked against the script.
Edit & deliver
Cut, graded and mastered, with versions for every screen and language.
