Invada Films – the new production arm of Bristol-based Invada Records, founded by Geoff Barrow (‘Portishead', ‘Ex Machina') – has announced festival previews, a UK-wide Q&A tour, and the cinema release of its debut feature, ‘Game', opening in the UK and Ireland on 21st November 2025.
The film’s UK premiere at the Mayhem Film Festival in Nottingham (hometown of co-star Jason Williamson) has already sold out, with further festival and preview screenings confirmed in Brighton, Leeds, Bristol, Manchester, London, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast, and Birmingham. Cast and crew will be in attendance at selected dates.
Set amid the raw energy of the 1993 British rave scene, ‘Game' is a tense and atmospheric thriller following two men – a thief and a poacher – forced to outwit both the law and each other in a desperate fight for survival.
Directed by acclaimed music filmmaker John Minton in his feature debut, ‘Game' stars Marc Bessant and Jason Williamson (Sleaford Mods) in their first leading roles. The idea was conceived by Barrow and Bessant, who then brought in Minton and screenwriter Rob Williams (‘UNFOLLOW', ‘LuckyChap'/HBO) to develop the story. The film was shot in and around Bristol.
‘Game' opens in cinemas in the UK and Ireland on 21st November 2025. See the trailer below.
