The Scar Crow is a debut feature film from UK independent producer/director/writer Andy Thompson (Oxford) & Pete Benson (Aylesbury) and has been selected for a US premiere screening at the Dances With Films Festival on Wednesday June 10th, 2009 at 9:30 p.m. The movie premiered in the UK on April 27th, 2009 to a packed audience at the Coronet Cinema in Notting Hill as part of the London Independent Film Festival and won the Best Horror/Sci-Fi Feature Award.

Scar Crow starts in 2009 with four guys from a city insurance company who are not interested in countryside team building exercises and assault courses.
