Tathagat Films

Tathagat Films is based at B-46 on the second floor of the Hill View Apartments in Vasant Vihar. It’s a residential area, so it’s much quieter than the commercial hubs of the city. We are right near the Vasant Continental, which is a good landmark for people trying to find us. Since we’re in an apartment building, the office has a very homey feel to it. It’s not like those glass-and-steel offices you see in movies. We have our editing suites and camera gear set up in different rooms. It can get a bit tight when we have a full crew in here, but we’ve lived with it for a long time. The view from the second floor is actually quite nice, hence the name of the apartments. We spend long hours here, often late into the night when we’re finishing a cut or going over scripts. There’s always a kettle of tea going because that’s how we survive the long edits. We don’t really have a big staff; it’s just a small group of us who are really into making films. We don't spend much time on fancy presentations or corporate talk. We’d rather just be working on the footage. Vasant Vihar is a peaceful place to work, and we appreciate that because film work can be chaotic enough on its own. It’s a simple, hardworking environment where the focus is always on the screen.
