About Hometown Studios
At Hometown Studios, we believe in providing an unparalleled experience for creative individuals who are looking for a space to make their ideas come to life. Since our inception in 2019, we’ve been privileged to work with some of the most amazing people and produce some of the greatest productions that the Sri Lankan landscape has ever seen.
Our approach is to create a collaborative environment that allows creators to bring their ideas to the table while leveraging our experience to bring out the best in their projects.
We are passionate about nurturing creativity, innovation, ethics, and culture in society which we believe are the cornerstones of a sustainable society.
Our physical studio opened its doors in 2019, but our passion for art dates back to 2010. Hometown Studios believes in pushing boundaries and staying ahead of the curve. That's why we decided to take our physical studio presence to virtual on January 2023, where we can perform even better.
Memories
Founder
Nishan Malinda Arangala
Ever since I was a child, I have grown up with creative people, from singers, musicians, rappers, cinematographers and artists. Their presence in my life has greatly influenced my personal growth and skills development. The concept of "Hometown Studios" was conceived as a result of the great influence I had over the years.
I graduated from Murdoch University, Western Australia double major in Hospitality and Tourism Management and Management which helped me to find the theoretical framework for my work. Being able to study and work outside of Sri Lanka helped tremendously to understand different cultures, demographics, and environments. The experience and knowledge gained from studying and working abroad have allowed me to define hospitality as more than just serving customers; it is about creating meaningful experiences for people.
I have learned to think outside the box, to express myself creatively, and to approach challenges with a unique perspective.
Rather than how I personally envision how "Hometown Studios" is, I would love to witness how others collectively define what Hometown Studios is. I believe in cultivating a supportive and inclusive community that empowers creative individuals to pursue their passions and make a positive and sustainable impact on society.
If it is about cinema, music, art, technology, live events, innovation, creativity, hospitality and sustainability, Let's connect.
