Frontières Juicy Vampire Comedy ‘Gro(ceries,’ Starring and Co-Written by ‘Sex Education’s’ Chinenye Ezeudu-Sterling, Adds French Co-Production Partners (EXCLUSIVE)

Paris-based production companies SCoT(T) and The Project have boarded ‘Gro(ceries),’ a vampire self-identity comedy starring ‘Sex Education’s’ Chinenye Ezeudu-Sterling, who is also the co-writer with director Sophie King.

The news comes ahead of the project’s participation in Fantasia Festival’s Frontières Co-Production Market, held July 22–25 in Montreal.

U.K.-based lead producers Rosanna Eden-Ellis (Five By Five Films) and Catherine Joy White (Kusini Productions), who are presenting the project at Frontières, told Variety they are now targeting a Q1 2027 shoot in the U.K. and beginning early conversations about casting.

“SCoT(T) and The Project have helped bring more than a dozen independent films to the screen,” said Eden-Ellis. “Their involvement further strengthens the project’s international production and financing framework.”

“We’re excited by the opportunities that international collaboration is opening up for the project while keeping it rooted in a distinctly British voice,” White said.
