The Ipswich Star can exclusively reveal the first trailer for Godstar, an independent feature film shot in Ipswich.

The newly-released footage gives audiences their first glimpse of the project, which has been seven years in the making.

Filming took place at locations across the town, with the trailer featuring Hatton Court, the Ipswich cocktail and wine bar that hosted some of the production's scenes.

Written and directed by local filmmaker James Gavverz, Godstar aims to showcase Ipswich's people, character and locations on the big screen.

Mr Gavverz said the project has been a long time in the making and highlights the wealth of talent in the town.

"There is so much local talent in Ipswich that has been buried," he said.

The trailer marks the first opportunity for residents to see how familiar places from across the town have been brought to life in the film.

Godstar is expected to premiere at King Street Cinema in late December or early January.

Watch the exclusive trailer below.

Please note: While the trailer has been censored, viewers should be aware that it contains strong language.
