Chiefs Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping highlight follows a cross dresser who gets back at his homophobic aggressor.
1917 star George MacKay and Candyman entertainer Nathan Stewart-Jarrett have endorsed on to star in Femme, a London-set vengeance thrill ride that Anton will create and sell universally.
Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choon Ping will coordinate Femme in view of their 2021 BAFTA-selected short film of a similar name.
Stewart-Jarrett plays Jules, whose life and vocation as a cross dresser is obliterated after an embarrassing homophobic assault.
At the point when he spots one of his aggressors, the profoundly closeted Preston (MacKay), in a gay sauna, he starts to plot his vengeance.
Acknowledging Preston doesn’t remember him in his kid structure, Jules starts to hint himself into Preston’s life and, in doing as such, finds power in another sort of drag.
Be that as it may, the perilous enchantment takes steps to turn lethal without warning.
“We love thrill rides, yet we felt that the prevalently hyper-manly classification frequently prohibits the strange viewpoint,” Freeman and Ping said in a proclamation.
“By putting a gay hero at the core of a spine chiller, we plan to alter assumptions, and push stories from the edge, and ourselves as eccentric craftsmen, into the standard.”
Femme, which debuted at South by South West last year, won a British Independent Film Award for Best British Short Film and was BAFTA selected.
Light-footed Films, which created the short film, is ready for the component, with Agile’s Myles Payne and Sam Ritzenberg as lead makers and Hayley Williams co-delivering.
BBC Film and Anton will co-finance the task. Chief makers are Eva Yates for BBC Film, as well as Marnie Podos, Sebastien Raybaud and Cecile Gaget for Anton. Creation is set to begin in London in June.
Anton will start off global deals for Femme at the Cannes Film Market not long from now.
