          It is difficult to produce experimental films or music albums in Garhwali and Kumaoni as it is financially not viable.

            However, there are language development enthusiastic personalities carrying out experiments in various field of film production. One of enthusiastic Garhwali film producers is Bhupendra Kathait.
           Though there have been trials for inserting animated characters in feature films as Kamli directed by Anuj Joshi or Nanda Jat documentary film by Bhupendra Kathait in past.
                     Four minutes animated film Panchayat of DB film claims to be the first Garhwali animated film broadcasted on net on 17/4/2013. However, the film seems to be either dubbed or copied as no way the film seems to be Garhwali barring language. There clips available of animated Garhwali video films on net as baby dancing, furki band and Kolavari de child version.
     Bhupendra Kathait produced, directed Garhwali animated film ‘Ek Tha Garhwal in 2013 too’.  The characteristics of film match with Garhwal. The film is based on problem of migration from rural Garhwal.   In real sense, from culture point of view, the two minute Ek tha Garhwal film would be called first Garhwali animated film
                   
  Bhupendra Kathait was born in 1972 in Bamradi village, Bangadsyun of Pauri Garhwal.  After taking junior education from Garhwal he came to Delhi where he took four year diploma in Designing. He joined animation filming job.
          He was connected with many animated films of Doordarshan and other TV channels. Chhotu Patlu film is one of his famous ventures.
         In 2008, Bhupendra made animated film for Shri Nagar Nagar Palika wherein he created many historical characters for history of Shrinagar. 
 He has tremendous love for his language. Due to love for his mother tongue he produced two minutes Garhwali animated film Ek Tha Garhwal. The film is a sensible film.
 Bhupendra lives in Dehradun and has plan to produce a one hour animated film
