The final trailer has been released for Suit Hung. Tied Tongue., a new drama about two brothers who become "anarchically radicalised" against the Irish state.

The film will have its sold-out premiere this Thursday at the Savoy Cinema, Dublin and it stars Paul St Leger, Alex Eydt, William Morgan (Dublin Crust) and Sadhbh Larkin Coyle (Communion).

Filmed in Finglas, Malahide, The Liberties and Wicklow on a low budget and with the actors doing some of the filming themselves, it follows the lives of brothers Sean and Freddie Halpin, "who through tragic and preventable circumstances lose their mother".

It's the latest feature film from the award-winning Dublin-born writer and director, Sau Dachi and his production company Standard Practice Productions.

"It's a cautionary tale about what can happen when people lose hope."

"This is a film with big scope but it is still an indie film. We built it from the ground up," says Dachi.

"We are going to see how the premiere goes on Thursday and then hopefully release it in selected cinemas around the country.

"We want to create some FOMO but we don't want the screening of the movie to cost us an arm and a leg. This is about keeping control of where it is screened."

It’s also been nominated as Best Genre Film at The Vancouver Badass Film Festival.

Speaking about Suit Hung. Tied Tongue., Dachi says: "I’ll be interested to see what emotions the film evokes in the general public towards the situations and opinions presented within the story."
