In early 2024, we were called to Ladakh to make a film about the first ever Ice Hockey League in India. A lot of people were interviewed & one common thing emerged: how the resilience of the Ladakhi community kept this sport alive, creating some of the best players in the country. Like in most places, the women had to push harder to claim their space. We heard stories of how the women’s ice hockey team grew with the support of local heroes. Stories of women who wouldn’t give up despite the lack of basics like skates. It feels important to say this now. Communities survive when people stand up for each other. Ladakh has always shown us this. We felt it while we were there. Lifting each other up is the only way forward.

This was the second time we had the chance to tell a story about India’s journey with polio eradication. The first time, we travelled through U.P. with @alycehenson_photography , documenting health workers across small towns and rural pockets. Getting a glimpse into the vast ground network that kept the fight alive for decades. A massive national polio campaign, which began in the '90s and stretched across three decades, reached its milestone in 2014 when India was officially declared polio-free. It was a movement driven by people who truly believed in the cause and gave it everything they had. So this time, with @reelkate we got to tell a different story; one that marks a decade of polio-free India. One visual that has stayed with us is of the once crowded polio ward at St. Stephen’s Hospital, now lying quiet and empty. Super proud of our incredible team who worked through some of the hottest days of 2024 to bring this story to life. - Client: Rotary International @rotaryinternational Production House: Big Monkey Studios @studiosbigmonkey Director: Kate Sosa @reelkate Producer (RI): Rebekah Raleigh Producer: Chaitali Mitra @chaitalimitrab Associate Producer: Shayena Sharma @shayenasharma DOP: Jayant Parashar @thegardenlizard IInd Unit DOP: Akmal Nazer @imnarki AC: Anil Kumar Chauhan @anil_drone AC / Gaffer: Sunil Vishwakarma Location Sound Recordist: Aditya Singh Production Manager: Ankit Singh Production Associate: Aritry Das @aritreeh Production Accounts: Mahesh Jaiswal @i_mahesh_jaiswal Spot/Chief Hydration Officer: Ravi Equipment Vendors: Ekta Vision, 3 Aces Lights: Truelight Special thanks to Jyoti Rai @jyotirai26 , Comms and PR Strategist at Rotary South Asia for putting the show together!

We wrapped up 2024 with conceptualising & producing a couple of insanely fun advertisements for Wellbeing Nutrition. - The prep was all about trying out new things in a short period of time; and like our production team said, we created an Avengers of equipment vendors for this shoot. So many people came together to make this happen in 2 days! This is the magician of a team we have at BMS. We might be missing out on a lot of people who worked on this with us, but thank you for being a part of the fun!
