The studio Kochi, India

One company.
Three practitioners.

H2N Pictures is Shijin Melvin Hutton, Subin Hutton and Abhishek Nair.

Three people from the industry who built a company to make their own work.

An independent film practice working across psychological horror, quiet thrillers and character-led shorts. We develop in house, shoot with a close ensemble and finish in the mix. Fewer films, longer afterlives.
