\n The festival for independent filmmakers focuses on movies about the weird, the supernatural, the paranormal and the unexplained – with its title ‘Fortean’ hailing from Charles Fort, a researcher of anomalous phenomena.\n<\/p>\n
\n After making its debut on the big screen last month at<\/a> the town’s Ice House on Bridge Road, there was double delight for The Creature from Scroby Sands filmmakers.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n The horror comedy was named Best Comedy and won Best Trailer in the 2025 instalment of the wacky and wonderful film festival.\n<\/p>\n \n \n Produced by childhood friends Jordon Thomas Sendall, Kyle Ball and James Weeds, the film tells the story of four teenagers who visit the seaside town for a holiday but soon come face to face with a demon from the depths as they are targeted by a mythical sea monster.\n<\/p>\n \n \n Success at the film festival comes after 200 people enjoyed a red carpet premiere at the Ice House.\n<\/p>\n \n For the film\u2019s producers, On The Huh Productions, nostalgia was hugely influential.\n<\/p>\n \n After starting development in 2021 the production took almost five years, as the movie morphed from an initial concept of a short film to a feature-length love letter to the Norfolk coast, its locals and its visitors.\n<\/p>\n \n \n Art director Kyle Ball said: “It has been amazing to be part of this fantastic project, and it is so humbling to receive positive responses from audiences at home and across the country.”\n<\/p>\n \n Writer James Weeds said: \u201cWe wanted to write a love letter to Yarmouth.”\n<\/p>\n \n Director and editor Jordon Thomas Sendall said it was a \u201cpassion project”, adding he is keen to continue filmmaking.\n<\/p>\n ‘Absolutely fantastic’<\/p>\nThe production team behind The Creature from Scroby Sands: James Weeds, Jordon Thomas Sendall (sitting), Kyle Ball and Daniel Coates.
