WildCard Distribution has released the official trailer for Christy, a deeply personal and emotionally charged coming-of-age drama from Irish director Brendan Canty. Slated for release on September 5, 2025, the film marks a powerful feature debut that explores brotherhood, belonging, and the messy complexity of family ties in modern-day Ireland.
Daniel Power stars as 17-year-old Christy, a troubled teen recently ejected from his suburban foster home. He finds refuge—if only temporarily—with his older brother Shane (played by Diarmuid Noyes), who’s now trying to keep his own young family afloat on Cork’s working-class Northside. While Shane sees Christy’s stay as a short-term fix, Christy begins to find a sense of place in the tight-knit community and confronts his past through relatives who offer him both warmth and potential pitfalls.
As Christy grapples with conflicting influences—his brother’s hopes for a clean slate and his extended family’s murkier pull—his future hangs in a delicate balance. The tension between love, loyalty, and survival runs deep, especially as Shane risks pushing Christy away in his effort to steer him toward something better. The film's nuanced exploration of masculinity, family, and class lends it a raw authenticity that resonates beyond borders.
With a standout ensemble cast including Emma Willis, Alison Oliver, Chris Walley, and Helen Behan, Christy brings together some of Ireland’s most exciting talent. Written by Alan O'Gorman, the film is already generating quiet buzz for its emotional depth and sense of place. It's not just a story about growing up—it's about the people and places that shape who we become, for better or worse.
