Netflix Didn’t Send a Battalion. They Sent a Sniper Team.
Body Copy: When a studio like Netflix plans a high-profile promo for a show like The Crown, the usual instinct is to fly in a massive supervisory team. They worry about safety, brand reputation, and the chaos of India.
For this shoot in Kolkata, they flew in exactly two people: The Director and a Marketing Exec. They trusted me with the rest.
The Mission: We had to reunite two sisters separated by continents, capturing raw, unscripted emotion in the middle of one of India's most chaotic cities. We needed "Closed Set" security in a public space.
The Reality: My team provided the entire infrastructure: camera crew, logistics, security, and location management. We operated on a "Light Footprint" model that allowed us to move fast and capture the story without drowning in bureaucracy. This is what I call "Western Standards, Natively Executed."
