Cine Art Director

Cine Art Director is based out of A 704 in the Triveni Co-Op Housing Society. We’re over in Goregaon West, which is a busy hub for anyone connected to the film world. Our space is more of a studio and office hybrid. It’s usually filled with sketches, fabric swatches, and small models of sets we’re thinking about. It's not the neatest place you'll ever see. There are stacks of old scripts and reference books everywhere. We spend hours talking about colors and textures. Sometimes the ideas come easy, and other times we just sit there staring at a blank page. We aren't some big agency with a receptionist. When you call, one of us just picks up the phone. We work odd hours because that’s just how the industry is. Sometimes we’re out on a location for days, and the office stays empty. Other times we're here until three in the morning finishing a design. The housing society is pretty quiet, which helps when we need to focus. We get our tea from the stall just outside the main gate. It’s a basic setup, but it works for what we do. We don't have a portfolio on every wall. We just focus on the current project and try to make it work within the budget we're given. It’s a lot of practical problem-solving, really. We just enjoy the process of making things look real.
