Clay Epstein’s Film Mode Entertainment and Luke Sparke’s Sparke Films announce the AFM market premiere screening and a full house of sales and distribution news with multiple awards for the horror film, Scurry. The movie stars Jamie Costa (Kenobi: A Star Wars Story, Bring Him To Me) and Emalia (Paramount+ Paper Dolls). Scurry was written by Tom Evans (Bring Him To Me), directed by Luke Sparke (Occupation, Occupation Rainfall), and has recently been completed and made its world festival premieres in Australia to high acclaim. 

“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

 Scurry Scores Big Sales

In addition to Australia and New Zealand, which was picked up by Umbrella Entertainment, sales for Scurry include Dimension Pictures (India), Eagle Films (Middle East), Media4Fun (Poland), Pioneer Films (Philippines), Signature Entertainment (United Kingdom), and Splendid Film (Benelux, Germany). Film Mode Entertainment is fielding multiple offers from remaining territories.

“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.

Scurry's AFM market premiere screening took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. at the Brenden Theater 12. Additional screenings TBA and by appointment with Film Mode.

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 made its festival world premiere in September at the 2024 Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival and won the Audience Choice. “The Closing Night World Premiere of Luke Sparke's Scurry has proven the festival's ultimate crowd pleaser, with the dramatic thriller taking [the] 2024 Ion Sci-Fi Audience Award,” said festival directors. It was also an official selection at Monster Fest in October. 

Coming off of the global success of the Occupation Rainfall franchise and Sparke’s new feature film, Bring Him To Me, along with a multi-picture deal between Film Mode and Sparke Films, Scurry is set to thrill to the international marketplace and global audiences alike.
