Biography

Kedhhar Barrve

Executive Producer | Storyteller | Collaborator

About Me

I’ve spent the better part of my career bringing stories to life—whether through commercials, documentaries, or feature films. As the Co-Founder and Executive Producer at Footloose Films, I’ve had the privilege of leading productions from start to finish, collaborating with some fantastic creatives, and ensuring that every project not only meets expectations but exceeds them. Over the years, I’ve produced and worked on more than 400 advertising commercials projects, spanning various industries and creative formats. From big-budget campaigns to intimate, passion-driven films, my work has always been about striking the right balance between creativity and execution. I’ve also had the chance to work on multiple international service production jobs, further expanding my experience in handling global collaborations.

Before Footloose, I spent a year with Like Minded People Film, producing advertising commercials for various brands. And before that, I dedicated seven years to Little Lamb Films, where I primarily worked as a producer for advertising commercials. I started as a Line Producer, working my way up to Co-Producer and eventually Producer. During this time, I also had the incredible opportunity to executive produce two award-winning feature films—one in Bengali and one in Hindi—that made waves at international film festivals. I also worked across branded content, short formats, managing productions and leading teams across different geographies for various scales of production.

Through it all, I’ve worn multiple hats—storyteller, problem solver, team builder, and sometimes even a bit of a magician (because, let’s be honest, production often demands it).

What drives me is the magic of collaboration, the thrill of finding solutions on the go, and the joy of seeing a project come to life exactly as envisioned—or better.
