After selling out its UK debut at FrightFest, BUNNY RABBIT is now hitting genre audiences in the USA, UK, and Australia.
“BUNNY RABBIT is for genre fans that love dread-inducing slow burns and the psychological unravelling of one turning to cannibalism – fans of RAW and UNDER THE SKIN will be at home in the world of BUNNY RABBIT.” – Director James Branson.
Set in the aftermath of a climate-collapsed Australia, BUNNY RABBIT follows a young woman who roams the ruins of a world she never got to grow up in. Raised on scavenged books and B-movies, she lives alone in an old shack she once shared with her father. Supplies are scarce, and food is running out. There’s nothing left to hunt. Nothing except other people…
“I want to invite audiences into a nightmarish vision of a post-apocalyptic Australia and the result of the harsh reality of survival with only one source of food remaining – MAN” – Director James Branson
“In late 2019, a dark orange hue descended on Australia and an apocalyptic fire swallowed the land, destroying 243,000 square kilometres of territory and thousands of homes,” says writer-director James Branson. “So what would be the consequences of a truly apocalyptic climate disaster? How would individuals behave? How might we treat others when resources are scarce? What–or who–do we eat when there’s nothing left? That’s what I was thinking about when I was writing BUNNY RABBIT.”
Directed by James Branson and produced by Taylor Thompson of Sneaky Films, BUNNY RABBIT stars Kate Wilson in her feature debut as the titular character, alongside Saxon Cook as The Hitchhiker and Ôntrei as The Intruder. Australian country music star Andy Golledge makes a striking on-screen turn as The Father. The film’s award-winning cinematography comes from the young and immensely talented Aemon Barzanji, whose work on BUNNY RABBIT earned him an Australian Cinematography Society award. The film’s original score was composed by James Branson and Ôntrei, with original music by Andy Golledge.
“BUNNY RABBIT is a frightening dystopian nightmare, and after spending a year on the festival circuit it’s time to unleash it on genre fans,” says Taylor Thompson, Producer and Co-founder, Sneaky Films.
BUNNY RABBIT is now available for early access via Vimio only and coming to other digital channels soon.
