Our Story

Started in 2018, Gonzo was created with a need to showcase everyday stories in a real manner. With a background in documentary-making, we represent our clients in the most honest manner possible, without the glitz that takes away from the idea itself.

Gonzo taps into its diverse creative network to bring any production—big or small—to life.

From set design, art direction, to cinematography, editing and production, we create a holistic portrayal of your product, all under one roof.

Gonzo Team for Lauv X JioSaavn

Gonzo Publishing is an independent, curated platform for storytellers, built by storytellers.

This is a place where the story is the hero, not the storyteller. We publish, curate, produce and exhibit the stories that we come across and offer to do the same for your stories too.
