For agencies and producers who need a production in India, from one interview to a full crew.

Active Idler works with agencies and producers in the US, UK and Europe who need a production in India. We plan, crew and deliver it, so nobody from your side has to fly in.

Much of our corporate work comes this way. We have shot for Dell Technologies, AstraZeneca and Cencora in India through a US-based agency, and filmed customer research for Shell UK in Bangalore and Ahmedabad through a UK-based agency.

What you get

  • Work under your brand. Your client stays your client
  • We do not contact your client unless you ask us to
  • A crew sized to the job, from a small unit to a full production team
  • Interviews, testimonials, b-roll and work-life portraits
  • Photo and video on the same day, where it fits
  • Footage handed over, or a finished edit

How it works

  1. 1

    Your brief

    Send the brief, the dates and the cities. We ask a few questions before we price, because we would rather ask than guess.

  2. 2

    Plan

    We agree the shot list, the crew and the logistics. If the job needs permits or a drone, we say so and bring in a local specialist.

  3. 3

    Shoot

    Mayur Srivatsav leads the production in India, with a crew sized to the job.

  4. 4

    Handover

    You get the footage, or a finished edit in 7 to 10 working days with two rounds of revisions.
