    A thrilling crime story with a historical background

    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.

    Hilarious

    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.

    TOTALLY BRILLIANT

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

    Brilliant, hilarious and beautifully shot!

    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!
