faq.
Questions, answered.
What does a story-led creative studio do?
We start with the story, not the format. Kavala defines the idea, creative direction and treatment, then makes the film, content or campaign that tells it, from first thought to final frame.
Do you only work with AI?
No. AI is one capability inside Kavala Lab. We choose the production method that serves the story: live action, hybrid or generative.
Can I hire you for production only?
Yes. Some clients arrive with a challenge that needs an idea; others with an idea that needs excellent execution. Both routes work.
Do you handle media buying and performance marketing?
Through specialist partners. Kavala leads the idea and the creative standard; when a brief calls for it, we bring in partners for media planning, performance, SEO/SEM and analytics. Scope and responsibilities are agreed up front.
How are projects priced?
Per brief: a campaign fee, a project fee or a recurring partnership fee, with studio, production, partner and media costs quoted transparently.
Where are you based and who do you work with?
We're based in Kochi, Kerala, and work with brands from the UAE to France and Asia-Pacific, on location and remotely.
