About

Inside MIND

Mind Factory is a storytelling studio built by filmmakers. We make documentary and narrative films about characters who go unseen — across cultures, across borders, across circumstances. Stories that spark joy, curiosity, and compassion. Stories that remind us what we share.

We are Maya S. Patel and Neeraj Jain. The films we've worked on have been shown at The Metropolitan Museum, Sundance, Cannes, MAMI Mumbai, and Film Columbia NY.

Art is supposed to be
a part of a community.
Art is to decorate
people's houses,
their skin,
their clothes,
to make them
expand their minds.
‍
it's supposed to be right
in the community,
where they can have it
when they want it.

What we do

Inside the Factory

We work on long-form projects and short-form content that hold the same weight and intention.

The formats change. The instinct doesn't.

We enjoy working with filmmakers, brands, and companies who see themselves in the stories we tell. If you see yourself in the stories we tell, we'd love to chat.
