- SHORT FILM - 2025

"Worm takes the audience on a visceral journey of isolation and survival. Brutal, stylish, and uncompromising, it transforms pain into cinematic experience, with a directorial vision as fearless as it is unflinching. Yes, it’s Super8. Yes, it’s gory. Yes, it’s self-surgery in space.

Apparently the jury loved every messy second.

Big love to #gorewavefest for celebrating pain, madness and worms in all their slimy glory."  

- Gorewave Film Festival

"I had the idea for WORM while I was unfortunately suffering from a particularly nasty foot injury, me then using that experience to inform this very gory story. Worm is actually one of the first films that I have made that is not first and foremost spiritual in nature, and I really enjoyed working in that format, instead being able to focus on the films stylisation and the experience of the characters. WORM was also my second film shooting on Super8 film, which I thought matched the stories brutal nature, and the production designs 60's inspired touch."

-Callum, director and DOP of WORM.

"Worm is a gripping space thriller from the mind of Callum Thomas. Like a parasite controlling the mind of its victim, this film unapologetically captivates its audience and makes it impossible to look away."

-Nicholas Kehaidis, Producer.
