Carlos Bardem, Peter Webber, Anu Vaidyanathan Make ‘Mis(s)chief’ as Avani Films Reveals Eclectic Slate (EXCLUSIVE)
U.K. and India-based production outfit Avani Films is developing an eclectic slate including three feature films and a limited drama series.
Written and directed by Vaidyanathan, “Mis(s)chief” will follow a mother of two trying to succeed as a filmmaker while navigating a flailing marriage, the odd bullet from a gangster she has unwittingly managed to annoy and a never-ending schedule of her children’s homework. “Modern Times” is a six-part English-language limited drama series revolving around a fractured Indian family whose neuroses seem to recur through several generations and told in two timelines, one set in the present and another in pre-independent India. Also in the works is a film adaptation of Vaidyanathan’s sports memoir “Anywhere But Home: Adventures in Endurance,” that recounts her journey when she became the first Asian woman to complete Ultraman Canada, a triathlon event involving a 10-kilometer swim, a 420-kilometer bike ride and an 84.4-kilometer run.
