a cabinet of curiosities.
curious CABIN is a storytelling and visual development studio — carrying 25+ years of combined experience across story, script and screen. Original concepts, character and world-building, script doctoring, storyboards and scene planning: the Cabin is where ideas get discovered, shaped and made ready for the screen.
Our work has put titles on Netflix and Amazon Prime anthologies, storyboards behind Malayalam and Tamil features, and illustrations on the pages of Malayalam publishers. When it's time to produce, we lead — bringing in the specialists your story actually needs.

Pillars — Story, Visual, Production
2015

What we do
the three pillars.
Every project moves through Story, Visual and Production. We own the first two — and lead the third, bringing in specialists exactly where a project needs them.
01
Story
Original concepts, character and world-building, script development and doctoring, narrative consulting.
We own itScript Doctors
From writers'-room polish to a last-draft rescue two days before the shoot — we tighten dialogue, fix structure, and get the pages ready to shoot.
Problem Solvers
For when nobody's quite sure yet what's broken. We diagnose — continuity, pacing, casting fit, budget snags — before recommending who else needs to be in the room.
02
Visual
Storyboards, scene planning, title design, illustration and visual development — turning a script into something you can see.
We own itStoryboard Artists
Panel-by-panel visualisation that turns a script into a shootable blueprint — pacing, composition and camera moves worked out before the crew arrives.
Scene Planners
Shot lists, blocking and scene-by-scene logistics that keep your most complex sequences shootable on schedule and on budget.
Titles & Illustration
Title illustrations for OTT anthologies, key art, and illustrations and comics for publishers — the look of a story, drawn by hand.
03
Production
VFX and animation, documentaries and commercials, and direction for movies, series, short films and music videos — the story, delivered to screen.
We lead itVFX & Animation
2D and 3D animation and VFX — pre-vis, shot feasibility and SFX direction, so effects are planned, animated and budgeted correctly before a single frame is shot.
Documentary & Commercials
End-to-end production for documentaries and commercials — concept, storyboard, direction and final output, handled as one continuous process.
Movies, Series & Shorts
Direction for feature films, episodic series, short films and music videos — leading the shoot, the performances and the vision through to picture lock.
Selected work
stories we've shaped.
From global OTT anthologies to regional features, commercials and the printed page — a look at what's come out of the Cabin.

Commercials — animation & live action
Concepts and storyboards for animated and live-action commercials.
SFX direction

FAQ
good questions.
No. We regularly start from a concept, a character, or a single idea that won't leave you alone — and develop it into a story, then a visual plan, before production ever begins.
A script doctor comes in on an existing draft — tightening structure, fixing dialogue that isn't landing, resolving plot holes, and getting pages shoot-ready, usually without a formal credit or byline.
Both. We work at any stage — writers' room, pre-production, principal photography or post — whether that means leading the Story and Visual work or embedding for a specific fix.
Yes. We've created title illustrations for Netflix and Amazon Prime anthologies, and work across feature films, OTT series and long-form branded content — wherever a story, script or shot needs a specialist.
Yes. Title illustrations, key art, and illustrations and comics for publishers are all part of the Visual pillar — and can be commissioned on their own.
For urgent calls — a script rewrite before a shoot date, a scene that isn't working — we can typically have someone briefed and on the ground within days.
Every engagement starts with an NDA. Scripts, footage and production details stay strictly within the specialists assigned to your project.
