East of England Weed Sellers Comedy ‘Chicken Town’ Official Trailer

“Do you have a sample for me?” Verve Pictures in the UK has just released the official trailer for an indie film titled Chicken Town, the latest project from British filmmaker Richard Bracewell. Set to premiere in the UK this June, it will also make its way to US audiences later this year. The film follows two school friends in a struggling town in the East of England who team up with a green-thumbed grandfather to sell a shed full of cannabis that the old man inadvertently cultivated on his allotment. This unique alliance of age and youth showcases an unexpected partnership between the forgetful and the forgotten. Bracewell describes the film as “a narrative exploring the contradictions of modern family life; a story that possesses both heart and conscience. If Greta Gerwig and Shane Meadows had a love child, we hope it would resemble Chicken Town.” Sounds like a delightful watch! The cast features Ethaniel Davy & Amelie Davies, comedian Graham Fellows, and a talented youth ensemble from The Television Workshop in Nottingham, including Ramy Ben Fredj, Hugo Carter, and Everett Gaskin. Keep this one on your radar!
