Inderveer Sodhi is a Canadian filmmaker, composer, and actor born and raised in Surrey, British Columbia, to Punjabi immigrant parents. His fascination with visual storytelling began in childhood, frequently recording and editing home videos with his family’s camcorder before teaching himself editing software and digital media production at an early age. By the age of ten, he had become known at school for his proficiency with Apple’s creative software, often assisting teachers and classmates with video editing and multimedia projects. Throughout high school, Sodhi immersed himself in filmmaking, music composition, performance, visual arts, and design. He produced short films, composed and arranged music for concert ensembles, scored theatrical productions, and developed an early reputation for ambitious student media projects. Despite his growing interest in film, his primary ambition at the time was to become a composer. Following high school, Sodhi was accepted into Berklee College of Music before enrolling at Simon Fraser University, where he studied digital media, art history, and media theory. He later left university to pursue independent creative work full-time. While completing his debut studio album, Carnival (2017), Sodhi realized that filmmaking offered a unique convergence of the disciplines that had shaped his creative life: music, visual art, performance, and storytelling. The project marked a turning point in his artistic development and led directly to the creation of his first feature film. At 19 years old, Sodhi began production on Monster (2019), a coming-of-age crime drama set in Surrey and centered on the impact of gang violence among South Asian youth. Written, directed, produced, edited, scored, and starring Sodhi, the film premiered to sold-out theatrical audiences, received national coverage from CBC and Global News, earned unsolicited film festival selections, and later secured distribution on Prime Video. He followed with Confessions of a Superhero (2022), a theatrical feature produced during the COVID-19 pandemic that went on to secure international distribution on Apple TV. Through his company, Sodhi Productions Inc., he has since released two theatrical feature films, three studio albums, and multiple motion picture soundtracks while continuing to develop projects across filmmaking, music composition, and creative production. His upcoming feature film, 8, is slated to begin production in Summer 2027.
