25.01.2022 Behold ... the brand-new poster for the forthcoming Sapphire Pictures short film Starspawn: Overture. This poster was designed by ace Cairns artist Malcolm Semmens.

Starspawn: Overture is a teaser of what you can expect from the full feature - an hors-d'œuvre to whet your appetite before the main course. Starspawn: Overture will be released worldwide on Vimeo On Demand on 25 November. Trailer coming soon. Watch this page for updates.
