‘Rain Catcher’ Trailer Released Ahead of Karlovy Vary Film Festival, With Dudley O’Shaughnessy and Iris Law in Lead Roles

The UK entry Rain Catcher, starring Top Boy’s Dudley O’Shaughnessy and Iris Law, is set for this year’s Karlovy Vary Film Festival, with the film’s trailer debuting July 1.

A new trailer for Rain Catcher has been released in an exclusive first look, ahead of the film’s appearance at this year’s Karlovy Vary Film Festival. The British production, positioned as one of the UK entries for the festival, features Dudley O’Shaughnessy and Iris Law in lead roles, according to the film’s announcement.

Deadline reported July 1 that the trailer spotlights both actors, with O’Shaughnessy known for his work on Top Boy and Law appearing as a central on-screen presence. The report frames Rain Catcher as a project making a visible festival push through a blend of emerging talent and industry support programs.

The film’s development track includes participation in a Netflix and Creative UK Breakout initiative, where Rain Catcher was described as a finalist for the program. Deadline also said the project won a NAFF Award at Sitges FanPitch, a detail that underscores early industry recognition before its festival bow.

Karlovy Vary, based in the Czech Republic, is among Europe’s prominent film festivals, and the inclusion of a UK entry can affect visibility for both filmmakers and the wider ecosystem behind the production. The trailer release is the first widely circulated promotional step tied to the festival run, according to the report.

With the film’s trailer now public, attention is likely to shift to the festival schedule and related industry screenings, where Rain Catcher’s packaging, casting, and prior awards recognition will be tested with programmers, critics, and buyers. Any subsequent distribution or rights announcements would typically follow festival exposure, though such details were not included in the initial report.

The story of Rain Catcher to date is therefore centered on its early competitive and development credentials, then its transition to an international festival platform through Karlovy Vary, with O’Shaughnessy and Law providing widely recognized star power for audiences following the UK slate.

Why It Matters

  • Festival selection and trailer releases can be a key step in how independent projects secure broader international visibility and industry attention.
  • Being tied to Netflix and Creative UK Breakout indicates the project’s early alignment with established development pipelines.
  • Prior competitive wins like the NAFF Award at Sitges FanPitch provide an additional credibility marker as the film enters a higher-profile public venue.
  • Karlovy Vary exposure can influence downstream outcomes for cast and crew, including follow-on projects and potential acquisition interest, depending on what is announced after the premiere.
