with emotion & purpose
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're Maya S. Patel and Neeraj Jain. Our films have been showcased at The Metropolitan Museum, Sundance, Cannes, MAMI Mumbai, and Film Columbia NY.

Art is to decorate

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.

We work with brands and companies who see themselves in the stories we tell. If you see yourself in the stories we tell, we'd like to talk.

to see takes time,
