Ancient tensions between the clashing cultures of England and Ireland are revived when a shipment of cocaine goes missing. This film is full of suspense as an English drug smuggler is tormented by his equally corrupt Irish captors. It's all about the money, but the brilliant screenplay brings out depths of cultural resentment. The camera-work is good, using the setting to emphasise the emotions of the characters. The story is told using dark humour with some laugh-out-loud moments. 'The Cocaine Famine' is a thoroughly good watch.

A beautifully shot and hilariously funny short film. Great dialogue and comic timing. The three actors are superb. Really can't fault it. A gorgeous little short!

One of the best films I have seen, excellent screenplay and a surprising ending. Deserves its success.

Absolutely brilliant short film with top class performances throughout. Just hilarious

The production of this short is so simple, with only one Room and three actors but they make it so incredibly entertaining with fun dialogue that wouldnt nearly be as funny without the actors and by switching up the lighting to have some variety in the Look. You just feel how much fun they had making this

Witty and cringey at the same time. Great acting from all three showing the ancient angst between the English and the Irish. Well shot with clear dialogue. Congratulations to all

Fantastic film Brian Martin is a fantastic actor and writer. I enjoyed watching this film again as much as I did when I saw it in the lighthouse cinema Dublin. Still gives me goosebumps.

Brilliant. It is really enjoyable and worthwhile watching.

Exceptional performances in this hilarious and intelligent short fIlm. Witty writing and expertly directed - a must see!

Comic gold, superbly shot and produced, it's tense, gripping, laugh out loud hilarity and drama from the get-go, The Cocaine Famine is a brilliant short film. Watch it! You won't be disappointed.
