There is no business like show business. True. But again we would say that “There is no business like selling arts.” In true sense, films are not mere products for business. Of course a film can bring fortunes to all of the team associated in film making, but there is a long way to go in a direction of success in film business. Somehow, this complicated business, as it seems easier from the outside, is very incomprehensible & difficult from inside. Difficult not in terms of creating arrays, but rather incomprehensible in getting assimilated by ones consciousness.


“Consciousness?” True. Films are not the products of conscious process of mind but rather the unconscious. Consciously or cautiously we can put all the best elements in the films, best actors, best director, best cinematographers, best musicians, best singer, best editor, best sound designers and many more. Ooh! But most of the times the result is the worst. And this complication of this business gives it a bad name that it is a most risky business.


We at Cowdung Films, are dedicated to overcome new challenges in film making and to create new forms and aesthetics to it. We don’t believe in the policy that how much a film can return, rather we believe in the ‘feeling’ that how a film is being made. Of course, we understand the position of a person who stakes his/her money in films just to see a beautiful film that would be appreciated by audiences and also, that can provide him/her enough monetarily gain to overcome his/her stakes and also, to gain enough to continue his/her stakes and to help him/her make enough profits from his investment.


Our work begins when one asks us that s/he want to produce a film. Rather than encouraging him/her we would like to discourage him/her. Neither because of the risks involve, nor we feel that film of a first time producer can not make profits, but rather because this is a lengthy, time consuming process and most of the time the person investing his money fears so much that s/he, in order to try his/her best, take many wrong decisions.


We at Cowdung Films, take all decisions, plan all the things and gives a surety to an investor that s/he would never feel in the life that s/he had taken a wrong decision by collaborating with us.
