During the mystical period of Taŋkha , three friends receive a mysterious prediction from a fortune teller—unleashing strange events they can’t explain. As playful curiosity turns to fear, they must confront the unknown and solve the riddle before it’s too late.

Next Stop

Next Destination is a short film starring a robot and a star, and their antagonistic stance on the idea of infinity, each with their own way of existing forever.

The star has existed for millions of years, because even once it is dead, it still shines and can be seen light years away. The robot, however, is infinite because it cannot die, and in that infinity, everything is meaningless, so in a way, it is dead too.

The film explores the search for one's own path in life, where unexpected turns and unthinkable decisions take us to places we never imagined, but were meant to be.

Simple stories of life, one slice at a time.
A Story about unconditional companionship

Fourever is a poignant yet uplifting short film that explores the fragile beauty of life and unconditional companionship. The film weaves a tapestry of emotions—nostalgia, regret, and ultimately, gratitude—for the fleeting yet eternal connections that define us.

Visually lyrical and underscored by a hauntingly beautiful score, Fourever is a meditation on how memories linger long after moments fade. Directed by Vasanth and brought to life by a bouquet of talents, this film is a testament to companionship and the indelible marks we leave on one another’s lives.
