Storia Films, KathaNepal team up to bring AI film production to Nepal
Storia Films and KathaNepal have formed a strategic collaboration to give brands in Nepal access to AI-led film production, with the first projects expected to start in August 2026. The partnership marks Storia’s first structured entry into Nepal and pairs its production pipeline with KathaNepal’s local market reach.
Why it matters: - Brands and organizations in Nepal can now tap an AI-focused film production workflow built for campaign content, from creative direction through sound. - The partnership gives Storia Films a formal route into Nepal, a new market for the Belgium-headquartered company. - KathaNepal gains access to a production system that can support AI-generated visual content for local clients.
What happened: - Storia Films and KathaNepal announced a strategic collaboration to serve clients across Nepal. - Under the arrangement, KathaNepal will act as Storia’s market partner in Nepal. - Storia will provide AI-led film production for campaigns commissioned through KathaNepal. - The companies said the first projects under the partnership are expected to begin in August 2026.
The details: - The collaboration covers creative direction, shot development, continuity, editing, colour and sound. - KathaNepal will lead client relationships, market context and campaign strategy in Nepal. - Storia will handle production, while both teams work jointly on creative development. - Storia Films is headquartered in Belgium and operates across the UK, Switzerland and India. - Manoy Pandey, founder of KathaNepal, reached out to Storia’s Head of Creative, Reghu Shanker, after a Storia Showcase presentation at Mumbai Tech Week 2026. - Discussions continued over the following weeks before the two sides agreed on a working structure.
Between the lines: - The partnership reflects growing demand for AI video among Nepali clients, but also a need for clearer production standards. - Pandey said the gap in Nepal is not interest in AI content, but confidence in how that content gets made to a brand-ready standard. - Shanker said local knowledge is essential in a new market because AI film still has to hold up as a film in direction, consistency and craft. - The collaboration suggests Storia is using local agencies to enter markets where cultural context matters as much as production technology.
What’s next: - The first campaign work is expected to launch in August 2026. - KathaNepal and Storia Films will jointly develop creative work for Nepali clients as the partnership begins operating. - More brands and organizations in Nepal are likely to test AI-led film production if the initial projects land well.
The bottom line: - Storia Films is pairing its AI production pipeline with KathaNepal’s local market access to make AI film work commercially usable in Nepal. More information
