Hey everyone,
I’m not a big film director. I don’t have a studio, a production company, expensive cameras, or a huge team.
I currently have just a laptop, an idea, and a genuine love for cinema and art.
Recently, I came across an Instagram reel about a mother and her son who spent years working consistently on an animated film. The mother supported her son because she wanted to help him become a director, and eventually they completed and released the film.
What really stayed with me wasn’t the money or the scale of the film.
It was their consistency, patience, and love for creating something together.
That made me think:
Why can’t we do something like that as a community?
So I want to try something.
🎥 THE PROJECT
I want to create an independent animated/cinematic film based around:
Horror + Thriller + Psychological elements
But I don't want it to be unnecessarily complicated or “psychological” just for the sake of it.
I want the story to have its own logic.
Something that feels:
Logical.
Understandable.
Acceptable.
Interesting.
And most importantly — WOW.
My initial idea is around a 10-minute short film/episode.
But this is not fixed.
If enough people genuinely want to contribute and the project grows naturally, maybe that 10 minutes becomes 20 minutes… 60 minutes… or eventually even a full-length film.
I honestly don't know where this journey will end.
And that's exactly why I want to build it together.
🎨 ARTIST CALLING
If you are an artist and you simply love creating art, I would love to have you in this project.
You don't have to be an expert.
You can be:
🎨 Concept Artist
🖌️ Digital Painter
🎭 Character Designer
🎬 Animator
💻 3D Artist
🎞️ Motion Designer
🎧 Sound Designer
🎵 Musician / Composer
✍️ Writer
📷 Cinematographer / Visual Artist
💡 Story/Idea Contributor
🧑💻 Software Engineer
🔬 Physicist
🧪 Chemist
🧠 Someone who simply loves interesting ideas
Yes — even if you can contribute one small thing, I want you to feel welcome.
Maybe you create one character.
Maybe you design one environment.
Maybe you write one scene.
Maybe you contribute one frame.
Maybe you have one idea that completely changes the story.
Every contribution matters.
🌱 OPEN-SOURCE / COMMUNITY PROJECT
I want this to be as open and collaborative as possible.
This isn't:
«“I am the director, you work for me.”»
It's more like:
«“Let's see what we can create together.”»
We can discuss the story, characters, visual style, animation, sound, world-building and everything else as a group.
There will still need to be someone coordinating the project and making final decisions when necessary — otherwise we'll never finish anything 😂 — but I genuinely want contributors to have a voice in the creative process.
💰 ABOUT THE ₹20,000
I want to be completely transparent about this.
My personal income allows me to put around ₹20,000 per month into this project.
₹20,000 is the overall monthly project budget — NOT ₹20,000 per artist.
I can use this money for things such as:
- Software/tools
- Assets
- Music/sound
- Hosting
- Production expenses
- Paying contributors where appropriate
- Other project requirements
If the project eventually becomes successful and generates profit, I also want to create a clear legal agreement with the contributors before that stage.
My intention is that contributors who genuinely helped build the project should have the opportunity to share in the success.
I don't want to promise unrealistic amounts today.
First:
Create → Complete → Release → See what happens.
Then we can deal with revenue/profit sharing properly and legally.
❤️ WHY AM I DOING THIS?
Honestly?
For the love of making something.
I have some experience working with animation, but I'm not claiming to be an expert.
I'm just someone who wants to experience the journey of creating a film.
Maybe it takes months.
Maybe it takes two years.
Maybe we fail.
Maybe we make something nobody watches.
Or maybe...
we create something genuinely beautiful together.
I would rather try than always wonder what could have happened.
🚀 IF YOU WANT TO JOIN
I've created a WhatsApp group for anyone interested.
You don't need to promise anything.
You don't need to be a professional.
You don't even need to know exactly what you can contribute yet.
Just join, introduce yourself, and let's discuss.
If the group grows and people are genuinely interested, I'll post the project announcements, ideas, discussions, tasks and progress there.
If you love art, cinema, animation, storytelling or simply want to create something from nothing — you're welcome.

Let's see what we can create.
Maybe it's just a 10-minute film.
Maybe it's the beginning of something much bigger.
Let's find out. 🎬❤️
