At Cloud 9 Communications, we simply love telling stories. We make films in many forms — from TV commercials and branded content to music videos and documentaries.

Over the years, we’ve had the chance to collaborate with a wide range of Canadian and international brands, artists, and creators. Whether it’s a poetic visual piece or a clean, thoughtful commercial, we approach every project with curiosity, craft, and respect for the audience.

For us, it’s not just production — it’s storytelling, emotion, and a little bit of cinema in everything we do.

“Offenders” delves into the complex landscape faced by artists, writers, comedians, and filmmakers in contemporary India as they boldly challenge the limits of free expression. Against the backdrop of a state asserting Hindu hegemony and suppressing dissent, and curbing press freedom if it doesn’t align with their agenda, “Offenders” tells the story of a nation where journalists risk exile for publishing dissent, scholars endure harassment from religious fundamentalists, and artists face bans for defying societal norms. Even comedians find themselves incarcerated for untold jokes, and writers are pushed to their limits, announcing literary obituaries.”Offenders” fervently advocates for the vital significance of free speech, emphasizing its importance. The film urges us to champion the rights of artists, echoing Salman Rushdie’s sentiment that “Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself.”

It’s a tribute to the profound importance of free speech and expression, especially in the arts, urging us to safeguard these fundamental rights for their transformative power to shape, disrupt, and elevate society.
