Having already won ‘Best Feature Film’ at this year’s Underground Film Festival, managing director David Byrne describes Suit Hung. Tied Tongue as, “A masterclass in guerrilla filmmaking.”

The synopsis of the film describes it as, “A cautionary tale about two brothers who become anarchically radicalised against the state. The fall-out from their crimes brings national outrage, disgust and support.”

Running just 94 minutes, Suit Hung. Tied Tongue follows the lives of brother Sean and Freddie Halpin, who lose their mother through tragic and preventable circumstances. Fuelled by the hopelessness of the current abrasive social climate, and left with what they feel is no option, they become unhinged and violent.
