ST. KITTS AND NEVIS — 2021 may feel like something straight out of a movie but now’s your chance to star in a motion picture set for 2022! Following his award-winning film Subnivean and critically-acclaimed film Crookery, filmmaker Jonathan Perry’s upcoming production is set to film in the Caribbean. The classified production under the pseudonym title Varuna will cast local actors in various starring and speaking roles.
Ohio-native Jonathan Perry is best known for his 2019 film Subnivean, which garnered critical acclaim and was subsequently acquired by Amazon Prime Video for international distribution, making him the youngest director on any major streaming service at the age of 17. At the pandemic’s peak, 19-year-old Perry worked with government officials to create Crookery. The action movie is currently traveling the international festival circuit and gathering awards as the filmmaker initiates pre-production for his upcoming Caribbean movie. Perry is now a sophomore in college and working out of Santa Monica, California with Simple Films and Activision Blizzard as a lead writer and director of the hit game, Call of Duty. Last Year, he unveiled Muybridge Inc., a production company that will manufacture cinema engineering technology alongside his future films. With the growth of the company, Jonathan is producing a documentary short with Molly Smith who is a National Student Emmy Winner attending Yale University.
