Siddharth Shukla

Big Monkey Studios

A production house based in New Delhi, we have produced digital advertisements, short documentaries, feature documentaries and animation films from start to finish. We believe in the spirit of true partnership and are a team of young professionals. Each of us house a range of experiences to fulfil multiple roles. With each new project, it is important for us to push our limits physically and mentally. Our desire is to be more mindful while choosing projects in the macro & micro sense. In a wider sense, we tend to choose themes and clients that revolve around inspiring stories and responsible subjects; bringing various facets of the globe to our viewers. In a micro sense, everyone who is part of our team is attuned to our mission of keeping our carbon emissions to the minimum while trying to attain a specific standard of filmmaking. The workings of a production house is often said to be reflected in the films they make. However, a five minute film often takes months to produce and it is in the way they sail through those months that the policies and intent of the filmmakers are truly reflected. Initially working as a line producer & cinematographer for projects for National Geographic, Discovery, History Channel and others, Siddharth expressed his desire to have more control over the way he wanted to tell stories. With this in mind, Big Monkey Studios came into being. At first, a young team of risk takers were put together to develop projects for Royal Enfield, some in partnership with the NSG and the Indian Air Force. We have a special knack and love for outdoor and on-location shoots. Our last project was a multi-pronged advertisement campaign that was shot while stranded in a snowstorm. We rode/trekked up to Mt. Everest and filmed it twice for different projects. We have worked with brands as well as non profits. Most of our partnerships have evolved beyond a single project and have turned into a long lasting relationship with collaborators.
