In The Origin, a tribe of starving homo sapiens must fight for survival in early Britain. It’s said to be a message about humanity — told through a genre lens — is as dark as it is timeless.
“The story follows a group of early humans looking for food and shelter in a new land. They subscribe to their leader’s promise of a better life, but find themselves in a dangerous terrain, where they’re preyed upon by a supernatural force.”

The cast includes Safia Oakley-Green, Kit Young and Chuku Modu.
Directed by Scottish helmer Andrew Cumming (Radiance, Clique) and written by Ruth Greenberg (The Spark) in both of their feature debuts, the film — produced by Saint Maud’s Oliver Kassman — is launching at the BFI London Film Festival on Thursday with three sold-out screenings.
The film was shot on location in 2020 in the Scottish Highlands.
The Origin is produced by Escape Plan’s Kassman, executive produced by David Kaplan and Sam Intili on behalf of New York’s Animal Kingdom (It Follows, Short Term 12), in co-production with Scottish producer Wendy Griffin of Selkie Productions (“Calibre”), with financing from Screen Scotland and the BFI.
