Everclear Films has signed two English-language productions – a U.K. drama based on the true story of a transgender prosecutor in the U.K. and a psychological thriller titled “16/32” – as the company moves to expand its slate into international long-form content.
The company, led by producers Raj Vasudeva and Anuradha Sachdev, is building a pipeline of three projects as it pivots toward long-form storytelling after years of work in commercials and branded content.
The first signed project, “Making Maya” (working title), is a U.K. co-production drawn from the life of Maya Arputham, a transgender prosecutor in Britain, navigating the barriers of one of its most traditional institutions. The script is complete, with the project in early-stage funding discussions and director and co-producer conversations underway.
The second project, “16/32,” is a psychological horror-thriller directed by Aditya Nair. The film follows fashion photographer John, whose life fractures after receiving a cryptically labeled photo frame; as deaths mount among people close to him, he is compelled to confront a malevolent presence and the buried trauma of his own past. The project is partly funded and in pre-production, with the shoot to take place in the U.K.
