"Whenever they see a St. Bernard, they totally lose it." Today Fs is exclusively debuting the official trailer for a new mockumentary being released by Uncork'd Entertainment titled St. Bernard Syndicate (or The Saint Bernard Syndicate), which won Best Actor and Best Screenplay in the International Narrative section at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year.

He’s an edgy, thinking man’s Sacha Baron Cohen in that regard, building characters to go undercover in volatile places where any threat to his wellbeing must be taken with the utmost severity and therefore able to deliver an authentic picture of rampant corruption. It may have taken seven years, but he’s finally back with The Saint Bernard Syndicate.
The difference this time around, however, is that Brügger has branched out into the realm of fictional narratives with a script by Lærke Sanderhoff.
