After working on some documentaries and shorts, director Peter Mackie Burns is ready to make his mark with a comedy drama that takes the typical rom-com and single woman tropes and gives them a good twist. We're exclusively bringing you the new trailer and poster for Daphne.
Anchored by a vibrant turn from Emily Beecham, Daphne finds the title character at a crossroads. Her life is hectic, and she is entrenched in the daily rush of her restaurant job and an active nightlife full of new faces. She is the life of the party, but her acerbic humor hides the fact that deep down Daphne is not happy.
She's forced to confront the inevitability of a much needed change in her life after she saves a shopkeeper's life when he gets stabbed during a failed robbery attempt.
The film has been won some solid buzz so far, and also features the likes of Geraldine James, Sinead Matthews, Tom Vaughn-Lawlor and Nathaniel Martello-White. It'll be out in UK cinemas on 29 September.
