Sucker

Alix Austin

Alix is a swinglish (British/Swiss) Director and Creative Producer with a big passion for practical creature effects, lethal sound design & killer soundtracks. Most recently she co-directed the London segment of Horror Anthology Feature ISOLATION (2021) with Keir Siewert, alongside Larry Fessenden and Dennie Gordon. The film celebrated premieres at Frightfest & Screamfest LA. The project was featured on Variety, Rue Morgue, Dread Central and Bloody Disgusting. She previously co-created and produced horror short RETCH, which has screened at over 30 festivals, including the London Short Film Festival, Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and won Best Horror Short at Cinefantasy Film Festival. Other genre experience includes 2nd Unit directing for 'Followers' (2021) director Marcus Harben, whose memory Sucker is dedicated to. He was a huge horror fan and was a dear friend to the Switchblade Cinema team, but sadly lost his battle with cancer last year.
