G K MAKWANA FILMS

The company has been operating since 1995/1996, with diversification into film and documentary productions from 2010 onwards.

The brainchild of Girish Makwana, it mirrors Girish’s evolution as a musician, scriptwriter, director, producer and filmmaker. The company has firm cultural and creative ties with India. The company moved into broadcasting, creating background music for radio programmes, television commercials and serials, all the while continuing to produce music performance which bridges the cultural divide of musical genres on an international level.

As part of this ongoing work, the group “Tihai3” was formed in 2004/2005. “Tihai3” has as its focus Indian classical music, but works in collaboration with different musicians and musical styles. It comes then as no surprise that the music of “Tihai3” combines traditional Indian instruments with non-Indian instruments.

By 2010 GK Makwana Films had diversified to include film and documentary productions, a reflection of Girish Makwana’s evolution as musician, script writer, director, producer and filmmaker. The company, now based in Australia, has firm cultural and creative ties with India.

“The Colour of Darkness” is GK Makwana Film’s first international feature film.
