Stories from the wild │ Built over time │ Brought alive in story
For more than three decades, the wild has inspired us and kept us looking closer. We tell its stories to
pass that sense of wonder on. Following animals through their lives. Returning to the same forests
season after season. Filming behaviour as it unfolds. Preserving stories that might otherwise
disappear.
What began with wildlife filmmaking has grown into something larger. We built Nalla’s Ark Ecosystem to
bring our work, our vision and our passion for storytelling under one roof, and to find new ways for the
stories we have gathered over the years to be seen, shared and carried forward.
Discover our pillars of conservation, film, and experience
Grey Films is where the journey began. For decades, our cameras have followed wildlife
across India; not simply collecting sightings, but staying with individual animals, families
and landscapes long enough for stories to emerge.
The result is a body of natural-history filmmaking created for leading Indian and
international broadcasters, alongside independent films built from years of observation in
the field.
Over the years, our cameras have recorded rare behaviour, diverse wildlife and changing
landscapes; generations growing up, dispersing, returning and disappearing. Much of that
material has stayed with us, carefully preserved.
Today, that growing natural-history collection is available for licensing to filmmakers,
broadcasters, agencies, researchers, educators and professional users.
Our products begin with stories we have actually witnessed and filmed — animals,
individuals, moments, legacies.
Selected collections connect physical products with the stories behind them, including
original footage and digital storytelling. The story matters as much as the product.
A small, intimate stay close to Ranthambhore, with the forested Aravalli hills just outside
your window. This is also where filmmaker Subbiah Nallamuthu stays when he is filming in
Ranthambhore.
It is simple, personal and close to the forest; a place to slow down, wake up early, step
out for safari and return to a space shaped by years of wildlife filmmaking.
Hands-on wildlife filmmaking workshops set in the heart of a forested landscape, where
observation, fieldcraft and storytelling come together.
The workshops will bring together cinematography, animal behaviour, field practice and the
realities of working in the wild.
Small groups │ Practical learning │ Real field experience.
The Foundation works to preserve the natural history of India’s wildlife through long-term
documentation, archive preservation and conservation storytelling.
It also supports young people in building practical skills in observation, filming, research
and storytelling, so more wildlife stories can be recorded well and carried forward.
Nalla’s Ark Ecosystem brings together the different ways we work with wildlife under one umbrella. A story may begin in the field, become part of a film, enter the stock footage library, inspire a product, shape a workshop, or continue through the Nalla’s Ark App.
The App takes that a step further by allowing viewers to become part of the journey through their
own articles and photographs, with scope to contribute licensable footage in the future.
This ecosystem gives us the freedom to explore, make and create in different ways, while
opening up more ways for people to discover, contribute to and carry wildlife stories
forward.
Stories, films, field notes, wildlife news and contributions from the growing Nalla’s Ark
community, brought together in one place.
Discover the stories we have documented, follow new ones as they unfold, and contribute your own
articles and photographs directly into our digital archive.
