Project Detail

Cider Punks

Synopsis

Cider Punks, a model animation, brings a humorous insight to the frantic Belfast-based life of Becky Donduffin, 17, and her circle of friends who share a passion for nihilism, protest, body piercing and army surplus clothing. The preponderance of peer-pressure and escapism in the teenagers' lives are clearly the main themes in this 'mockumentary', which reflects on the issues in a witty, yet thought-provoking way.

Inspired by the true story of Bryony Tyrell, known in the cage as “Killa Bee” - one of Britain’s most unexpected fighters: a nurse on the frontlines during COVID, devoted mother, and a pro MMA fighter.

Just as that chance arrives, the pandemic strikes, pushing her into the trenches of the COVID ICU. When tragedy hits close to home, her world is shaken. But Bry doesn’t back down. Another fight offer reignites her hunger — though this time, her career and home life are both on the ropes. The final match? It’s brutal, raw, and unforgettable. Spotting her family in the stands, Bry makes a soul-shaking decision — choosing the battle that truly matters most. This electrifying film melds high-octane MMA action, heart-stopping drama, and an unbreakable spirit.
