Broken Ones

Creative idea

Award winning Finnish author Tommi Laiho released his latest crime novel Broken Ones in October 2022. The release was followed by a thrilling short film. The story in the film is inspired by novel but not taken from the book. It sticks strictly into the world of novel by using two characters from the book in leading roles. Broken Ones is shocking, surprising, and even distressing film. It’s also age restricted for 16 years and older audience. But when knowing the context, the film reveals itself as a novel way to market a novel.
