Birdman and Benny Boom have released the first trailer for their joint film, Tazmanian Devil. Starring Beasts of No Nation‘s Abraham Attah, the film follows the story of Dayo, a first generation Nigerian college student looking to join a fraternity while balancing the demands of his religiously strict father.
“Many Nigerian immigrants who move to America, they view fraternities as a very destructive, dangerous organization to join. They are pretty much like gangs that you see here in America,” Director Solomon Onita Jr. said.

“This film was different from other films that deal with fraternity culture. This film makes a positive case for fraternities rather than just repeating old tired stereotypes,” he added.
The film is being produced by Cash Money Films, Groundwurk Studios and TigerEye Films with Ontia Jr. as director. Alongside Attah, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Adepero Oduye and Kwesi Boakye also star in the film. Check out the first trailer above.
