Set in 1984 in a small Texas town, Cherry Bomb follows the story of Cherry, an exotic dancer who is attacked by a group of men in the club where she works. Upon waking in the hospital, Cherry soon comes to find that all of the men have escaped justice, seemingly due to the help of corrupt local law enforcement. Against all odds, Cherry teams up with her estranged brother and vows revenge against the men who left her emotionally and physically broken. But things don't always go as planned, and Cherry finds herself up against the police, a vicious hired gun, and a barrage of unexpected consequences as she strives for vengeance.
The idea for Cherry Bomb began in late 2008 as a collaboration between writer Garrett Hargrove and director Kyle Day. Intended for independent production, the film underwent an extensive pre-production stage which involved many changes involving cast, crew, and union status, which subsequently caused several delays.
Principal photography began on March 2nd, 2010 and wrapped March 28, 2010. The majority of the film was shot on the Canon 7D, with additional footage shot on the Panasonic HVX200. All locations used were in Austin and surrounding areas.
On April 30th, 2010, the first official trailer was released on the Cherry Bomb website via YouTube and garnered overwhelmingly positive responses, largely due to social networking via the Cherry Bomb Facebook page[1] and industry blogs such as Geek Tyrant,[2] Dread Central,[3] and Trailer Addict.[4] Shot in March, 2010 in Austin, TX, the film is expected to be released late summer of 2010.[5] Cherry Bomb will be one of the first feature-length narrative films to be shot on the Canon 7D.
