She Wanted Him Dead;
He Chose Love Instead

ORIGINAL VErtical Project PILOT

We’re incredibly excited to collaborate on your vertical projects and bring your stories to life in this bold new format. Recently, we had the opportunity to shoot a pilot for a vertical series we wrote and developed in-house — and we’re proud to present our original production, She Wanted Him Dead; He Chose Love Instead.

It’s a wildly entertaining, humorous, and thrilling vertical drama filled with love, loss, betrayal, and murderous intentions — everything you’d expect from a story told with cinematic flair in a vertical frame.

Enjoy the pilot for this captivating project, and discover just how dynamic vertical storytelling can be.

If you’re interested in developing She Wanted Him Dead; He Chose Love Instead — or bringing your own vertical series to life — we’d love to collaborate.

synopsis:

Isadora, cheating wife of billionaire James Chardsworth, is caught in the arms of her lover thus kicking off a cascading sequence of unforeseen events. Her lust for power is boundless as she drugs and commits her husband to an insane asylum to gain control of Velacoda International, the jewel in her husband’s business empire.

This monstrous power grab takes a sinister turn, leaving only Amelia Weston, James’ executive secretary, as the last line of defence against Isadora’s increasingly dark, twisted and shocking master plan.
