South Stack Studios is proud to announce its role as Executive Producers on Holy Curse, the acclaimed and Academy awards qualified short film by filmmaker Snigdha Kapoor. The partnership marks an exciting milestone for the studio as it continues championing bold, culturally grounded, and globally resonant storytelling. The film, which has earned acclaim across the global festival circuit, is also backed by The New Yorker — a rare distinction that underscores its cultural and artistic significance.
