Marvel Digital Media

You can find us at No:10, Sivan Koil Street in Kodambakkam. If you know Chennai, you know this area is the heart of the movie world, but we stay busy with the digital side of things at Marvel Digital Media. It’s a small street and it gets pretty cramped when there’s a festival at the temple nearby. Our office isn’t huge, but we’ve packed it with enough screens and hard drives to get the job done. We spend a lot of time editing, uploading, and messing around with files. It’s a bit messy, to be honest, with cables running all over the floor because we’re always adding new equipment. The noise from the street usually drifts inside, but we’ve mostly learned to ignore it. We aren't trying to be some big agency with a lobby and a receptionist; it’s mostly just us in our t-shirts working until the light outside fades. Sometimes we stay late when a project is due, and we end up ordering food from the shop around the corner. It is just the way things are here. We know the neighbors and the guy who sells tea at the end of the lane. It’s a very local way of doing things, even if the work we do goes out on the internet for anyone to see. We just keep our heads down and keep moving. No point in making things more complicated than they need to be.
