Who We Are
Born in the foothills of the Himalayas. Filming across India and 35+ countries.
Alley Cats Films is a collective of experienced filmmakers telling travel, wildlife and environment stories for destinations and brands. A travel and wildlife film production company based in India, it was brought together by creative director Mandakini Malla, who has 25+ years of experience in Indian broadcast and digital media and has directed 100+ hours of travel programming.
Each member of the collective is accomplished and experienced in their own right, brought together by a shared love of filmmaking, travel and the natural world. Together, we have worked with brands and partners from across the world, especially tourism boards.
Every project is a partnership, not a transaction.

What We Offer
As true partners and creative problem solvers, we build every project around what actually gets the story told, not a fixed package. From tourism board campaigns and destination films to wildlife documentaries and brand content, we produce for clients across India and around the world.
Travel & Destination Films
Long-form or short-form, we go where the story is. From documentary-style series to trending reels and full social media campaigns, every film carries style, energy and a real feel for the place.
Wildlife & Environment
From the sal forests to Panna, our wildlife and environment films are shaped by a shared love of the natural world, and of the places we consider our natural habitat.
Responsible Tourism
Stories about travelling with care. Sustainable tourism, told with respect for local places and people.
Brand Films
We tell the story behind your brand. From concept to final delivery (strategy, script, shoot and edit), we build films that feel like content people actually want to watch, not ads they skip.
Photography
Product, brand, and travel photography that holds its own next to the film work — because a still image still has to stop someone's scroll.
From first idea to final frame
Pre-production
A detail-oriented team that doesn’t let anything slip, from budgets and schedules to locations and permissions. Thorough planning means that the whole team arrives on location well prepared and ready to hit the ground running.
Shoot
Filmed on the latest industry-standard cameras, drones and sound kit, for today’s digital, broadcast and OTT platforms.
Post-production
An experienced, hands-on team, capable of handling anything from complex edits to colour grading, graphics and animated motion graphics.
On budget. On deadline. Every time.
Sticking to budgets and delivering on schedule is what we do best.
The Team
The people behind the camera.
