Who we are
Tikvah (תִּקְוָה) is the Hebrew word for hope. We produce feature films in Indian languages such as Tamil and Malayalam, along with web series and long-form series for YouTube and Vimeo.
Our stories pass on what matters: faith, courage, compassion, integrity and the difference between right and wrong. We use new filmmaking tools, including AI, to show these values through characters children remember. We don't preach at children. We want them to know where they come from and still be curious about the rest of the world.
“Roots, without closing the mind.”
Why we exist
Algorithms and selective narratives now shape much of what young people learn about faith and history. We think every capable believer should use their skills to show children the full story.
To raise a generation that loves God, knows its heritage and holds its values with confidence. We want children to feel at home in their own story and to learn about other cultures without feeling that this takes something away from their own.
What we do
We write, design, animate and finish everything ourselves, for cinema screens and online platforms.
Theatrical and OTT features in Tamil, Malayalam and other Indian languages, rooted in local culture and written to travel.
Episodic drama for streaming platforms, written with character arcs that keep audiences watching from one episode to the next.
Long-form cinematic series made for online viewing, ready for audience growth, YouTube memberships and sponsorship.
Our team uses generative tools to design worlds, characters and visual effects, then directs and refines every frame.
Research-led development, screenplays and shot-by-shot storyboards, checked against the source material.
Multilingual voice, subtitles and cultural adaptation so one story can reach audiences in many regions.
