‘The Media House’, an integrated studio equipped with advanced technology for various departments of film production and post-production, was recently inaugurated at Seshadripuram in Bengaluru. It is the first of its kind in Karnataka.
The studio’s specialty is that it provides all the facilities required for various types of film and media projects under one roof, ranging from big-budget films to short films, web series and advertisements. Earlier, filmmakers had to travel to Chennai or Hyderabad to access such comprehensive technical facilities. The studio has been established with the objective of providing world-class facilities within Karnataka for Kannada film producers, directors and technicians.
