Platform Productions

We’re located on the 6th floor of Essel Towers in the Karangalpady area of Mangalore. It’s a good spot, right near Bunts Hostel, so most people in town know where we are. Our office is a bit of a mess with cameras, tripods, and editing computers everywhere. We do production work, which means we spend a lot of time looking at screens or setting up gear for shoots. It’s a lot of technical stuff that can be quite frustrating when the software crashes or a lens gets dusty. We aren't a big, polished agency. We’re just a few people who know how to handle production gear. Mangalore is a small enough place that word of mouth is how we get most of our work. We don't do much in the way of advertising ourselves. We just show up to the job and try to get the best shots we can. Sometimes we’re working in the heat and humidity, which is pretty common here, and it gets exhausting. We’ve been at this for several years now. We don't have any fancy titles; we just do what needs to be done to get the project finished. It’s a lot of long hours in the dark editing rooms and even longer days out on location. We just keep our heads down and work. It’s a practical way to spend our time, and we’re glad to be part of the local community here in Karangalpady.
