Award-winning sibling filmmakers Laurel and Brendan Brady (aka The Irish Twins) are set to captivate audiences\xa0with their latest film, CHRONIC, a humorous introspection of life post-brain injury. The film will make its highly\xa0anticipated world premiere in January 2024 on YouTube.

CHRONIC follows Frankie, played by Nadine Bhabha (Letterkenny), who struggles to accept the harsh reality of a\xa0recent brain injury. Her denial persists until she reluctantly attends a disastrous birthday party thrown by her\xa0inconsiderate best friend. This event becomes a wake-up call, prompting her to re-evaluate her friendships and her\xa0approach to life."

\u201cI wrote Chronic to explore the hellish and (at times) darkly humorous experience of getting a brain injury from a\xa0work-related injury back in 2019,\u201d said Laurel Brady. \u201cWhat was diagnosed as a \u2018mild concussion,\u2019 which was\xa0probably going to heal in a couple of days or weeks,\u2019 turned into six months on bed rest, chronic headaches and\xa0pain, going on social assistance because I wasn't able to work, and trying to explain over and over again to kind but\xa0clueless loved ones/colleagues that despite how casually concussions are portrayed in TV and Film, it's actually a\xa0brain injury that can be incredibly debilitating and life-altering. I wanted to be as specific and raw with Frankie's\xa0experience to allow folks living with a disability (and those without) to empathize with her, mimic the well-meaning\xa0but sometimes aggravating platitudes or foot-in-mouth foolery people say to those who are ill or living with a\xa0disability, but I also wanted it to be funny and entertaining and high energy. Teaming up with Brendan was the\xa0obvious choice. He's talented, hilarious, and has his own experience with chronic pain.\u201d
