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. 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.

One shoot, every channel
A hero film plus cut-downs, vertical reels and stills for web, ads and social.

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.
Travel & Destination Films
Long-form or short-form, we go where the story is. Documentary-style travel content shot on location, built around real people and real places — no staged perfection.
Wildlife & Environment
Films rooted in the natural world, including work for Roundglass Sustain — from the sal forests to Panna. Stories shaped by a shared love of wildlife, the environment and the places we film.
Responsible Tourism
Stories about travelling with care, including Forest Bathing and other films for MP Tourism with Outlook Traveller. Sustainable tourism told with respect for local places and people.
Brand Films
We make brand films for companies who want to be remembered, not just seen. From concept through final delivery — strategy, script, shoot, and edit — we build films that feel like content people actually want to watch.
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.
The Team
The people behind the camera.
