California Pictures has boarded worldwide sales for The Undying, a Bengali-language gothic horror film produced by Awadhesh Kumar, founder of Los Angeles-based AK Studios and former Global Head of Distribution at India's National Film Development Corporation (NFDC). Written and directed by Samman Roy, the film is adapted from a short story by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore and follows a young widow in 19th-century Bengal who returns from the dead. The film will be introduced to international buyers at the American Film Market, with subsequent presentations planned in Berlin and Cannes.
ASAN is proud to serve as a network partner for the film. “Awadhesh and his team are demonstrating how compelling South Asian stories can reach global audiences. We're proud to support their journey by connecting filmmakers with industry leaders, partners, and opportunities,” said Nitin Bajaj, Co-Founder of ASAN.
