\u201cIt\u2019s a thriller set in 1993, in and around raves,\u201d says Geoff Barrow of Game<\/em>, the debut feature from Invada Films, the new offshoot of his record label Invada. \u201cThe film\u2019s basically about drugs, poaching and survival.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having started out making imaginary soundtracks with Portishead, Barrow has progressed via composing actual film scores (for Alex Garland\u2019s Ex Machina<\/em> and Civil War<\/em>, among others) to now co-writing and producing a film of his own. His recently concluded final tour with Beak> coincided with a shift in priorities. \u201cMusic has started to fall away a bit,\u201d he confesses. \u201cI\u2019ve really enjoyed doing the scores, because it\u2019s not songs and you can be experimental. But I\u2019m 53, I don\u2019t want to settle down, and film has been a really huge shot in the arm for me. I\u2019m like a kid again, learning about something new.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first image to be released from Game<\/em> shows Marc Bessant\u2019s tracksuited thief being hunted through woodland by The Poacher, played by Sleaford Mods\u2019 Jason Williamson. \u201cI\u2019ve done a fair few small roles in film and TV, but this was on another level,\u201d Williamson tells Uncut. \u201cThe Poacher required a kind of naturalism that really speaks to me. There was something familiar about him, something I recognised from growing up in a small market town. But the challenge of building a fully fleshed-out character was something new \u2013 an experience I won\u2019t forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
