BREAKING NEWS! SCURRY WINS 2024 AUDIENCE AWARD.

The Closing Night World Premiere of Luke Sparke's SCURRY has proven the festival's ultimate crowdpleaser, with the dramatic thriller taking out 2024 Ion Sci-Fi Audience Award.

Starring Jamie Costas and Emalia as survivors of an extinction-level event trapped underground, the latest from the director of the global hit Occupation Rainfall is a nail-biting creature feature that unfolds as a single-shot marvel.

"The festival was privileged to have secured the first bigscreen outing for Luke's latest, a film that solidifies his reputation as a gifted teller of ambitious, exciting genre stories," says festival director Simon Foster. "Scurry is a technical marvel, which we've come to expect from Luke, but also a gripping personal story of two protagonists exhibiting deeply human traits."

Audience members voted at the Ion Sci-Fi official poll, accessed via the website of the festival's Official Media Partner.

A Sparke Films production, Scurry can next be seen at Monster Fest events at Event Cinemas Brisbane on Saturday 5th October and Melbourne's Cinema Nova on October 9. The film will be distributed in Australia by Umbrella Entertainment.

The good reviews keep on coming! Thank you Walkden Entertainment 🙏💥 Luke Sparke Myriad Pictures Rialto Distribution AU

Bring Him to Me (2023) I’m proud to say this film significantly exceeded my expectations. Bring Him to Me is a crime thriller with a simple premise and storyline, but it has a solid mystery and strong character development. Barry Pepper is fantastic playing a skilled getaway driver and gives a solid performance. Naturally, actor Sam Neill carries an enjoyable presence on screen as a ruthless man keen for revenge. Visuals are top-notch here, and the use of colours feels creative and professional. This is easily Director Luke Sparke’s best film to date, and the same can be said about his work in the editing department, which was also strong here. Lovers of all things crime, thriller, and related to Australian Cinema should support this exciting new release.

Available in Australian Cinemas from November 2nd. Bring Him to Me is also having its Queensland Premire during / . For more information visit: www.biff.com.au
