Production companies Forced Perspective and The Boldest have formed a strategic partnership to develop scalable, franchise-ready IP across film and television.
The partnership brings together Forced Perspective’s Jazzy Collins and The Boldest’s Saskia Clements. The collaboration will combine creative vision with access to capital and a long-term strategy for building cinematic worlds that extend across formats and audiences.
The partners have also announced their first project: a sci-fi feature called “The Anatomy of Courage” based on the standalone novel from Peter Cawdron’s bestselling “First Contact” anthology series, described as “Edge of Tomorrow” meets “1917.”
“BlacKkKlansman” screenwriters David Rabinowitz and Charlie Wachtel are attached to write the adaptation which follows Dr. Christopher Walters, a military medic in a brutal war against alien invaders known as the Novos. When he develops the unexpected ability to communicate with the enemy, he is drawn into a perilous mission to broker peace forcing him to confront the true nature of courage, mercy, and the cost of war.
“The Anatomy of Courage” is produced by Jazzy Collins, Shane Collins and Saskia Clements; executive produced by Peter Cawdron and Sarah Cawdron.
Jazzy Collins said, “Partnering with The Boldest gives us the capital, strategic vision, and world-building infrastructure to develop IP the way it deserves to be developed, and’ The Anatomy of Courage’ is exactly the kind of project this partnership was built for. Peter Cawdron has built one of the most loyal audiences in sci-fi completely independently. This is exactly the sort of proven, untapped IP this partnership dreams to bring to the screen, especially with the market success of other originally self-published authors like [‘The Martian ‘and ‘Project Hail Mary’ author] Andy Weir. With David and Charlie attached to pen the adaptation, we’re not just making a film, we’re building the first chapter of a much larger world.”
Clements added, “This partnership represents a shift in how we approach storytelling. We’re combining creative development with capital, strategy, and world-building to create stories that don’t just exist as films, but as expansive, living ecosystems. The goal is to build projects that feel immersive, culturally relevant, and capable of evolving into long-term franchises, while still being rooted in a genuine exploration of the human experience.”
