Scintilla follows a disparate group of mercenaries hired to a lead a special unit deep into a former Soviet state to infiltrate and retrieve data from an underground militia base. All is far from what it seems when a top-secret biotech lab and its unearthly creations are discovered.

Currently shooting in the north of England, Scintilla is directed by Billy O’Brien (Isolation). Producers Lionel Hicks and Craig Conway for Forefront Features and Liquid Noise Films said: “We are delighted to be in production after an intensive period of development and support with our co-producers Doug Abbott and John Wolstenholme. Billy O’ Brien and cinematographer Magni Agustsson (Brimm) are collaborating with a brilliant cast and crew on this very ambitious and exciting production. Mark Brooke and Ben Sweet of North Light Studios have also been a vital element behind the filming of Scintilla.”
Commented Lee Brazier, AV Pics’ Director of Production & Acquisitions: “We are delighted to be working on this exciting project with its producers and Billy O’Brien, whose work I have admired and followed for many years.”
