Inderveer Sodhi is a Canadian filmmaker, music composer, and actor from Vancouver. His directorial debut, Monster, was released theatrically in 2019 to commercial and critical acclaim across Canada. The coming-of-age drama based on the gang violence scene in Surrey was also written by Sodhi and stars him in the titular role. Shortly after its sold out theatrical run, Monster was digitally distributed to Amazon Prime Video. The feature film was released in tandem with his 2nd LP of the same name; the original motion picture soundtrack was composed and produced by Inderveer, and is available on Apple Music and Spotify. He also founded Sodhi Productions Inc. in 2019, a Canadian multimedia production company specializing in the production and distribution of feature-length films and studio albums. Inderveer's 2nd feature film, Confessions of a Superhero, set in the fictional town of Maddenville and starring Sodhi as Samar Khan / Zeitgeist released theatrically in November 2022 selling out all shows. Confessions of a Superhero also landed Inderveer and his company their first distribution deal, with the film releasing globally on AppleTV on May 25th 2023. Sodhi's creative endeavors reach as far back as his childhood, shooting short films with his family's home video camera. Inderveer spent most of his high school years writing and directing short films, scoring background music for his high school theatre productions, and performing solo and ensemble musical concerts. Having only picked up music in the ninth grade, his ambition for emotional and visual storytelling drove his learning curve to release his debut studio album Carnival in 2017 at the mere age of 19. This project dealt with one's evolution through the various phases of heartbreak; this album's production was led by Inderveer while featuring various vocal and spoken word talents. This LP was produced alongside two visuals, and a 3rd extended visual that further expanded on the musical narrative.
