Chances are you know Tom Sainsbury for his comedy - be it on stage, television, or social media platforms.

But his latest offering takes a decidedly sinister turn.

Loop Track - his directorial debut - is horror/thriller film shot in the Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland wilderness.

The film played in the NZ International Film Festival, and was selected to run in Sydney's South by South West (SXSW) and in Los Angeles' Screamfest.

And it will be released nationwide in Aotearoa on Thursday.
