Superman: Dawn of Justice), Niki Spiridakos (Blond Ambition) and writer/director Sean Lackey as our protagonist Tom Murphy – a middle-aged man from a proud fourth-generation Irish family in Cleveland that has never before been to Ireland.
A fish-out-of-water satirical comedy of the Irish, true love and beer, the film follows Tom Murphy, a clueless Irish-American, as he travels to Ireland for his best friend’s wedding and to find the girl of his dreams. But when he falls for a Greek beauty instead of an Irish-born lass, he must choose between his family’s expectations and true love.
Shot on location in Cleveland,Dublin and County Clare, Ireland, “The Yank” sees Tom getting sent off on a side-splitting epic adventure. Tom does not know it yet, but he’s about to come face to face with the real Ireland.
Sean Lackey says: “The Yank is a comedic satire on Irish America. What better group of people to laugh at themselves? Think SIDEWAYS, but with beer!”

Vision Films Managing Director / CEO Lise Romanoff says: “With it’s over-the-top Irish-American humor and an all-star comedic cast, The Yank is a perfect St Patrick’s Day movie – or ANY day movie. There’s romance, bromance… and if beer-mance exists, there’s a generous helping of that too!”
“The Yank” will release on DVD and VOD across the North America on March 1st ’16
