Our reason for making
Roll 02
Not more content. More cinema.
We believe an audience can feel when a film means something to the people making it.
Sweater Films was born from that belief — to back emotionally layered, culturally rooted Bengali stories and give them the craft, scale and courage to travel.
“Every story deserves to be told beautifully.”— Soumyo Sarkar, Founder
