THE OUTRUN UK RELEASE!

After much anticipation, THE OUTRUN has finally been released in UK cinema’s today! Directed by Nora Fingscheidt, this adaptation of Amy Liptrot's 2015 memoir stars Saoirse Ronan as an alcoholic returning to her family’s farm in Scotland to confront her sobriety. The film also features powerful performances by Stephen Dillane and Saskia Reeves and showcases the creative talents of Echo's Production Designer Andy Drummond and Hair and Makeup Designer Kat Morgan.

Produced by Arcade Pictures, BBC Film, Brock Media, Screen Scotland, and Weydemann Bros, The Outrun masterfully captures the harsh realities of alcoholism. Kat Morgan's remarkable hair and makeup design further emphasizes the film's themes, adding depth to its depiction of these challenges. You can read more about her work here.

In addition to its UK release, The Outrun will be hitting North American cinemas on October 4th, making it an indie film you won’t want to miss!
