A New Zealand-made fishing video game is getting turned into a movie.

Christchurch-based indie game developers Black Salt Games have signed a deal with media company Story Kitchen to bring their single-player adventure 'Dredge' to life on the big screen.

The forthcoming movie has been described as an "atmospheric cosmic horror blend of HP Lovecraft and Ernest Hemingway".

Black Salt Games Producer's Nadia Thorne and Lead Artist Alex Ritchie join Emile Donovan.
