"We break it down to dream it up."

We're Chinmay Deshpande and Nikita Pandit — the minds (and chaos coordinators) behind Dogme20 Productions.

We started this ad film production house in 2020, right after making our first short film Pound of Flesh. That film gave us more than just a festival run — it gave us purpose. A reason to build something of our own. And so we did.

Chinmay is the soul of the stories — a film obsessive who draws inspiration from cinematic legends like Kurosawa, Parajanov, Gaspar Noé, and Tarantino. He writes and directs for Dogme20 always leaning into that gritty, grungy aesthetic that takes a stand.

Nikita — that's me — is the one who makes sure those wild dreams actually happen. With a business background and a sharp eye for production, I handle the practical magic behind the scenes. From budgets to timelines, I make sure the madness has a method.

We've since created ad films, shorts, and corporate films for brands like Raymond, Siemens, Rapido, Junglee Games, Disney Hotstar, Samsonite India, HDFC ERGO, and more. And every single time, our favorite part is cracking open the script. That's when the dreaming starts.

We work hard. But we love what we do. The chaos of shoot days, the caffeine-fueled edits, the moments on set where stress turns to laughter — it's all part of the story we're telling.

And we're just getting started.
