The trailer for Scottish rave culture movie Beats has generated a lot of hype among film and music fans in Glasgow and beyond prior its arrival in cinemas next month.
Based on the award-winning play by Kieran Hurley, it earned rave reviews following its world premier at the Glasgow Film Festival back in March.
Directed by Brian Welsh (Black Mirror) and featuring Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven/Erin Brokovich) as executive producer, the film is billed as "a universal story of friendship, rebellion and the irresistible power of gathered youth".

Filmed in black and white and featuring an original soundtrack by Keith McIvor (JD Twitch of Optimo fame), it looks like it has all the necessary ingredients to be the next Scottish movie hit.
Here's the lowdown on Beats:
What is Beats about?
The coming of age film takes place in Scotland during the summer of 1994, and follows the soon to be separated best pals 'Johnno' and 'Spanner', who have grown up together on a housing project in the West Lothian area.
They decide to spend their last summer together living it up at an illegal rave as part of the wider setting of the UK's massive counter-cultural youth movement, prior to the arrival of new legislation across the country outlawing raves.
Who's in it?
Beats stars young Royal Conservatoire of Scotland graduates Cristian Ortega and Lorn Macdonald, both of whom who are participating in their feature film debuts.
Also among the cast are Glasgow born actress Laura Fraser (Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul) and Ryan Fletcher (Only An Excuse/Shetland).
