With their exams over, best friends Malachy and Luke are out to have one hell of a summer. However, the arrival of Michelle, a captivating but troubled beauty, tests their friendship to the limit as she encourages the two boys to carry out increasingly dangerous and illegal deeds in the battle for her affections – with fatal consequences.

“At heart Cherrybomb questions our notion of male loyalty and what happens when this bond is tested as female desire and rivalry comes into play. We are thrilled with our casting and look forward to shooting the film in and around Belfast over the coming weeks,” say the co-directors, Glen Leyburn and Lisa Barros D’Sa.

“We are delighted to be working with Michael Casey of Green Park on this innovative and exciting film” commented Simon Bosanquet from Generator. Mark Huffam added, “Daragh Carville’s Belfast-set script gives a cool, contemporary twist to the traditional buddy-movie, set squarely against the backdrop of a city in the process of rebuilding its identity – it’s perfect material for Glen and Lisa’s fresh and original talents.”
Michael Casey, the producer, previously worked on Dan Radcliffe's
My Boy Jack.
