Eknetra Productions builds festival-tier short films from the ground up — script development, principal photography, post-production, DCP mastering and festival strategy. Whether you're an independent filmmaker with a screenplay, a brand funding narrative content, or a debut director finding your language — we make it real.
From festival-circuit narratives to branded content to experimental gallery works — we build the production around what your story demands.
Scripted fiction. Character, conflict, resolution. Festival-track production standards, DCP-ready output from day one.
Non-linear, visual poetry, abstract storytelling. Gallery and installation-ready format. Language without grammar — only sensation.
Brand-funded narrative with natural integration. Content marketing that audiences actually watch — and share — long after the campaign ends.
First-time director support. Full production mentorship alongside a professional crew. Your vision. Our infrastructure. Your name in the credits.
Episodic short-form connected by theme, character or world. Built for YouTube, OTT or branded content series with a unified visual identity.
"The last road back is the one you never left."
A son returns to his ancestral village after 12 years of silence — only to find that the house, the land and the family's story of him have been rewritten.
"Time does not pass. Time accumulates."
A visual poem constructed from memory fragments — archival textures, found sound and original score layered over images of water, migration and belonging.
"A second season always begins before the first is done."
A brand-funded short following a third-generation spice farmer navigating the tension between tradition and climate uncertainty.
"The night carries the answer, if you are willing to listen."
A portrait of a night-shift nurse in Mumbai navigating care, exhaustion and hope across the city's silent hours.
Seven phases. One continuous process. We stay in the room from development to distribution — so nothing falls between the cracks.
Screenplay analysis, story notes, table reads, director's vision alignment. We develop the script alongside you if needed — sharpening structure without flattening your voice.
Casting calls, auditions, location scouting, production design, costume & props, production design board. The world of the film is built before a single frame is shot.
Actor workshops, blocking rehearsals with director, script run-throughs, technical recce. The gap between pre-production and principal photography where most films either find their footing — or lose it.
Full professional crew, multi-day shoot. Lighting, sound, continuity, on-set DIT. Every day begins with a briefing and ends with a wrap report. The images your script deserved.
Offline edit, online edit, colour grade, sound design, foley, original score, VFX if needed. This is where the film stops being footage and starts being a film. The longest, most essential phase.
DCP mastering, EPK (Electronic Press Kit) creation, festival calendar mapping, submission management. We know submission windows, eligibility quirks and the programmers who run each circuit. Your film gets in front of the right eyes.
OTT platform pitch, YouTube premiere planning, screening event logistics, press release. A film without an audience is a private document. We make sure yours is seen.
We don't just produce films. We build the conditions for great films to get made — and then found.
We know the circuit: MIFF, IFFK, IFFI, KASHISH, Cannes Shorts, IDFA, BAFTA shorts. DCP-ready from day one. Your film enters the room that matters.
Your story. Your vision. We bring the infrastructure — you bring the artistry. Our crew serves your creative direction, not the other way around.
Script to screen. Development to distribution. We handle every stage so you can focus on the work that matters — making something true.
Discounted rates, mentorship access and industry intros for debut filmmakers making their first professional short. New voices need good rooms.
The short film is the most democratic form in cinema — it belongs equally to the festival circuit, the gallery wall, the brand campaign and the debut reel. We work with every type of client who has a story short enough to be sharp, and long enough to be true.
You come with the story. We come with the crew, the locations, the post-production pipeline and the festival network. The work stays yours.
Director-firstBranded short films that audiences watch voluntarily — because the story is worth watching. Integration that serves the narrative rather than interrupting it.
Content-firstFirst professional production? We build the structure around you — mentorship, crew introductions, structured pricing tiers and a portfolio that opens doors.
Debut supportThree structured starting points — calibrated to scope, crew size and festival ambition. Every project is scoped in detail before contract.
Indicative ranges · Custom quotes availableMicro-budget production starts at ₹3 lakh for a bare-bones shoot — minimal crew, single location, no special effects. Festival-grade work with a proper crew, lighting package, and post-production pipeline typically begins at ₹8 lakh.
Budget is ultimately driven by your script's complexity: number of shoot days, crew size, location logistics, visual effects, and post requirements (colour grading, sound design, DCP mastering).
All figures are indicative ranges, not fixed quotes. Actual cost depends on final scope.Not necessarily. We can develop a project from a treatment, a one-paragraph premise, or a fully polished screenplay.
Pre-production script consultation is included as part of our onboarding process — we work with you to identify structural, budgetary, and scheduling implications before a single frame is planned.
Yes. For Professional and Premium tier productions we include festival strategy consultation and DCP mastering for theatrical submission. Submission management (Filmfreeway, direct entries) is available on request.
We have direct experience with IFFI, MAMI, KASHISH, and several international Tier-1 festivals. We advise on category selection, synopsis writing, and screener delivery formats.
Full intellectual property rights — including copyright, distribution rights, and derivative rights — are assigned to the director/producer upon receipt of final payment. There are no royalty claims or revenue-share obligations on our part.
We retain the right to use short clips and stills in our portfolio reel and promotional materials, subject to prior written permission from the client.
Standard post-production for a 15–20 minute short runs 4–6 weeks: offline edit → online conform → colour grade → sound design and mix → DCP/master export. The timeline begins after principal photography wraps.
Rush timelines are negotiable depending on crew availability. VFX-heavy projects or multi-language deliverables will require additional scheduling.
Timeline estimates are indicative. Confirmed schedules are set at project kick-off.Yes. We work in Hindi, English, and major regional languages. Our network includes dialogue coaches, dialect consultants, and experienced regional-language script supervisors.
