About Raw Film

Founded in 2013. Still behind the viewfinder.

Raw Film started in a small Dhaka edit suite with one belief: that Bangladeshi stories deserved world-class craft. Thirteen years, a few hundred films and a growing team later, that belief is still the brief.

We're part studio, part story-lab — directors, cinematographers, editors and colourists who grew up making films for the love of it, and stayed in the room long enough to make them well. We work with founders, agencies, NGOs and artists who care about how a story feels, not just what it says.

The studio is founder-led: every project briefed, scripted and signed off by Deloar before a camera moves. Senior crew — DP, sound, colourist, editor — assembled per project from a vetted Dhaka network.

Behind the scenes

Thirteen years. Countless frames.

Glimpses from the set — the crew, the kit, the quiet moments between takes.

How we make change

A calm, deliberate way to make a loud film.

Every project at Raw Film moves through the same four rooms. No chaos, no surprises — just craft, at every stage.

01

Listen & strategise

We start with questions, not cameras. Who is this for, and what should change after they watch?

02

Script & pre-production

Treatment, script, locations, cast, mood board and shoot plan — signed off before a light is turned on.

03

Production

Cinema cameras, disciplined set, senior crew. Every frame in service of the story.

04

Post & delivery

Edit, grade, sound, motion — delivered for every platform, in every aspect ratio you need.

Full in-house pre-production, owned and rental cinema gear, post pipeline mastered to broadcast and streaming spec.
