A collective of writers, shooters and editors trained by the camera itself.
Crafters 24 is a Chennai-rooted production house built by technicians before it was ever built by a brand name. Our directors and cinematographers trace their craft to Balu Mahendra, and our crew has since cut its teeth on national-award-winning sets, OTT features, and hundred-take advertising shoots — carrying that same discipline into every frame we now shoot for our own clients.
Between us we've stood behind the camera on Baahubali, Drishyam 2 and Angamaly Diaries, cut trailers and features across Kollywood, Tollywood and Bollywood, scored music videos with lyricists like Vairamuthu, and directed television commercials for national brands. Crafters 24 is where that experience is pointed at your story.
Whether it's a feature film, a 30-second spot, or a wedding film shot like cinema — we bring a film unit's precision to work of any scale.
