STUDIOCANAL, HKX and CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) are proud to announce that acclaimed film director Huse Monfaradi's short film BROTHERS - featuring rising stars Jay Lycurgo (I May Destroy You) and Michael Workeye (Sitting In Limbo), will be available to watch from Friday 6 November 2020, exclusively through www.brothersthefilm.com. The film will be followed with a pre-recorded Q&A with Monfaradi, Workeye and Lycurgo, hosted by renowned broadcaster Edith Bowman.
It's a sad paradox in that it is harder to know how to deal with the mental health issues of those closest to us; family, than someone perhaps one step away. BROTHERS is a story of friendship, betrayal and the fragility of mental health, inspired by the real life experiences of Michael Workeye and his relationship with his older brother and his mental health issues.
Monfaradi commented: “Hearing Michael's story and the struggles he has had with his older brother's mental health issues over the years was the inspiration for me to write Brothers. I felt compelled as a filmmaker to try and tell a version of this story in a dramatic, relatable and compassionate manner, so as to not only do Michael and his family some justice, but also shed light on the subject and hopefully open a discussion around it."
