Hello, Alappuzha!

We're starting a custom wall-art service across Kerala and would love to work with people in Alappuzha.

The idea is to create artwork around your imagination and your space, whether that's a personalised mural for your home, a textured feature wall, a nature-inspired bedroom, or an artistic installation for a café, restaurant or homestay.

We have an experienced creative team, including people with film and art-direction backgrounds, helping us develop original concepts for each project.

This is a paid custom-art service, with each quotation depending on the design, size, materials and work involved.

We're looking to connect with homeowners, café owners, homestays, local businesses and anyone who has an idea for a wall they'd love to transform.

If you've ever wanted a wall that felt genuinely yours instead of something picked from a catalogue, we'd love to hear your idea.

I’m an Assistant Director and filmmaker based in Kerala, and I’m looking to build a small, committed filmmaking team that I can grow with over time.

I’m looking for beginners who are serious about learning, improving their craft, and working on real projects. You don’t need to have a huge portfolio or years of experience. I’m more interested in people who are reliable, creative, willing to learn, and serious about finishing what they start.

I’m especially looking for a Malayalam writer who can help develop stories, dialogues, and local details; a beginner editor who wants to learn through practical projects; a cinematographer or camera person who is starting out; and people interested in sound, production design, posters, social media, or production support.

I can develop ideas and write in English, but I would like to work with someone who can expand those ideas naturally in Malayalam.

The plan is to start small with short scenes, short films, social-media videos, music videos, and other practical projects. Alongside our own work, I want to find paid writing, editing, and video projects so we can gain experience, earn through the work, and eventually fund bigger projects.

To be transparent, this is not an immediate full-time paid job. Some early projects may be unpaid, low-budget, or based on shared revenue. If we take on paid work, payment, expenses, credits, ownership, and revenue sharing will be discussed clearly before the work begins.

I want to build a team that is honest, respectful, punctual, and committed—not just a temporary group that disappears after one project.

If you’re interested, please comment or message me with your location, the role you’re interested in, your current experience level, any sample work, the kind of films or content you want to make, and how much time you can realistically contribute each week.

I’m based in Kerala and would prefer people from Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, or nearby areas for shoots. Writers and editors can also collaborate remotely.

I’ve been thinking about the kinds of stories Malayalam cinema explores regularly and the genres we still don’t see often enough.

We have made some excellent dramas, thrillers, family films, crime stories, and realistic character-driven movies. But I sometimes feel that certain genres are still treated as risky or difficult to make here.

I’m not saying Malayalam cinema should move away from the grounded stories it does well. I’m more interested in seeing filmmakers use those strengths inside genres we don’t explore often.

For example, a science-fiction film about climate change and coastal communities in Kerala could feel more original than simply making another alien-invasion film. A horror film based on local folklore, family structures, or social anxieties could also be much more effective than a film built only around jump scares.

As someone interested in filmmaking, I’m curious about what audiences actually want to watch—not just what sounds exciting on paper.

What genres or kinds of stories do you think Malayalam cinema should explore more? And what would make those films feel genuinely Malayalam rather than like imitations of films from elsewhere?

I recently rewatched Mr. Bean’s Holiday and realised that Mr. Bean was basically doing travel vlogging before travel vlogging became a thing.

He receives a video camera, takes it everywhere, records his journey across France, films strangers, documents every small disaster, and turns his holiday into a personal video diary.
