Directed by Luke Sparke (Occupation, Occupation Rainfall), the horror film Scurry starring Jamie Costa (Kenobi: A Star Wars Story, Bring Him To Me) and Emalia (Paramount+ Paper Dolls) made its festival world premiere at the 2024 Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival where it won the Audience Choice. It was written by Tom Evans (Bring Him To Me).

In Scurry, the city is under attack by a monstrous threat. Two strangers find themselves trapped below ground during the chaos. Badly injured and with limited resources, they must navigate a treacherous, narrowing tunnel in hopes of finding an exit before they bleed out. Fear and desperation consume them as the threat closes in and they soon discover they have more to fear than each other.

Scurry was shot in Queensland, Australia at the Sparke Films studio on the Gold Coast, in real-time using only one take.

The film will next make its market premiere at AFM on Tuesday, November 5.

“It’s been fantastic to see the early response from festival audiences who have gotten a sneak peek at this unique film. It’s a tightly wound film that we are excited to screen to further buyers and bring it to wide audiences as soon as we can,” said producers Carly Sparke and Carmel Imrie.

Producers are Carmel Imrie, Carly Sparke and Luke Sparke, Co-Producer is Alex Becconsall, and Executive Producers are Clay Epstein, Geoff Imrie and Luke Sparke. Film Mode Entertainment is handling worldwide sales rights for Scurry.

“We’re thrilled to further our relationship with one of the most talented and prolific filmmakers working today. Luke is a visionary who brings films to the marketplace that audiences all around the world crave, and Scurry is scaring up new fans every day,” said Epstein
