NEW YORK -- After a decade as a top indie film production and video distribution outfit, Hart Sharp Entertainment founders John Hart and Jeffrey Sharp are heading their separate ways. Hart is forming the new film and theater production company Evamere.
Evamere will launch production on two films this year: Todd Solondz's dark comedy of sexual obsession, Life During Wartime, and the James Solomon-penned biopic of a woman involved in the Abraham Lincoln assassination, The Conspirator.
Other new projects include Alice Goes to Harlem, a potential animated feature that finds Alice in Wonderland meeting such artists as The Nicholas Brothers and Whoopi Goldberg on a journey celebrating the Harlem Renaissance. Geoffrey Holder and Hilton Als are in talks to write the screenplay. Also set for 2008 is Come Like Shadows, a surreal period adaptation of Macbeth, with John Maybury in negotiations to direct.
Hart will oversee management of the company's existing private-equity funds, True Film Fund I and II, which will continue to finance Hart Sharp projects that Hart will now produce.
