Official trailer for The Run - premiering at Adelaide Film Festival this October.

Starring Callan Mulvey, Charlotte Maggi, Taylor Wiese, Tim Phillipps, Joe Romeo, Felix Cameron and Nicholas Hope.

The Run is the debut feature from writer/director Stephen de Villiers, brought to life by producer Chloe Gardner alongside executive producer Alexi Ouzas and co-producer Maisie Fabry.

Set in a dystopian near-future Australia, a weary smuggler forms an uneasy alliance with a runaway teenager to protect her newborn baby - the first born in years - from the criminals who want to claim her.

Shot by award-winning cinematographer Michael Tessari and edited by Wilson Tran, the film brings together bold production design by Das Patterson, detailed world-building from art director Bianca Milani, and striking costume design by Anita Seiler. Marie-Lyne Morant leads makeup, with Justin Van Zyl on grip and lighting by Richard Rees-Jones.
