Up-and-coming Scandinavian director Alain Darborg (Alex) will take on SF Studios’ English-language survival thriller Don’t Move. The action of the film will be contained in one location, the zoo, and take place over one night as a medical student battles an anaconda!
Based on an original story by Darborg, Deadline reports Don’t Move follows a medical student, Ali, who volunteers for the night shift at a Californian zoo. After a rescue mission goes awry, she finds herself trapped in the anaconda enclosure. It will take all of her willpower and intelligence to survive until morning with a hungry predator chasing her down and nowhere to hide.

Darborg said the story came out of a nightmare he had years ago in which he was being chased by snakes. He said the movie will be packed with action and suspense, and will also indirectly address social themes as the main character is a Persian-American woman living in Los Angeles.
Darborg, who is half-Persian, half-Swedish and grew up in Sweden, has always felt like an immigrant, saying: “This film is about… the difficulties of growing up, and about a young woman that has to try to beat extreme physical and psychological obstacles to survive.”
