Caterpillar is a unique production and an international collaboration between British and Indian talent.

Written and produced in the UK, but being shot in Kerala, India, the production will have a British Cinematographer and UK-based Director fly out to work with richly experienced local filmmaking talents who have worked on numerous feature films.

The project is currently in the pre-production and fundraising stages.

Production is set for mid-October 2025.

It will release in 2026.

Premiere screenings have been planned at cities around the world such as Kochi, Chennai, Dubai, London and NYC.

It will have a full festival run, followed by a permanent home in either a streaming service or a Youtube aggregator channel, either as a part of an anthology or as a stand-alone short.

A feature film based on the same idea is in early development, and will be further developed based on the response to this pilot film.
