thisplusthis Productions, founded by filmmaker Manav Satuley and his creative peers, is an independent film production company driven by a bold vision — to create cinema that is wild, raw, and emotionally powerful. We believe that cinema is not just about storytelling; it’s about truth. Our mission is to make films that go beyond entertainment — stories that spark thought, stir emotion, and stay with the audience long after the credits roll.
At thisplusthis Productions, we are passionate about independent filmmaking that challenges conventions and societal boundaries. Our creative philosophy is rooted in honesty and realism. We aim to produce films that capture human emotions in their purest form — whether it’s love, loss, chaos, or redemption. We tell stories that feel real, that connect deeply, and that celebrate the imperfections of life.
Our Vision for Modern Cinema
The idea behind thisplusthis Productions was simple yet fearless — to create cinema that speaks without filters. We don’t follow trends or formulas; we create narratives that are honest, thought-provoking, and authentic. Every project we take on — from short films to feature-length projects — is crafted with artistic precision and emotional depth.
Our goal is not just to entertain but to engage audiences emotionally and intellectually. We believe that true filmmaking lies in the courage to tell uncomfortable truths. That’s why our work often explores complex characters, raw emotions, and the unspoken realities of everyday life.
Why We Exist
Cinema has the power to shape thought and ignite change. At thisplusthis Productions, we see every film as an opportunity to make an impact — to reflect society, to question norms, and to celebrate human experience. We are not afraid to push boundaries or experiment with new forms of cinematic expression.
We believe that storytelling in cinema should come from a place of honesty. Our films are made for audiences who crave authenticity — those who want to see life as it truly is, not as it is imagined to be. From conceptualization to direction and post-production, every step is guided by emotion, craft, and creative integrity.
Our Promise
As a new-age film production house, thisplusthis Productions stands for fearless storytelling and visual innovation. We aim to collaborate with visionary writers, directors, and artists who share our passion for creating meaningful cinema. Whether it’s an independent short or a large-scale feature, our focus remains the same — to create cinema that leaves a mark.
Because for us, filmmaking isn’t just a profession — it’s a revolution of feeling and expression.
We do chase perfection, but we also chase truth.
We don’t just make films; we make stories that live on.
Welcome to thisplusthis Productions —
where cinema becomes emotion, and emotion becomes art.
