Project Detail

Ribblehead

Synopsis

Mark Smithson, an author widely celebrated for his first novel, is suffering from writer's block. After a desperate episode he and his wife Sarah move to the countryside for a fresh start. Reinvograted, Mark finds a fresh subject for his second book. But when aspects of his story begin to materialise in real life, his newfound creativity soon starts to overwhelm him. Sarah can see the toll the project is taking on her husband, but - despite repeated efforts - can't find a way to connect with him.

RIBBLEHEAD asks: how close to the edge will we push ourselves to get what we want? And what would we do if we suddenly found we couldn't get back?

Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, NIGHT AND DAY is an un-romantic comedy about a passionate astronomer Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage. Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humourous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women balancing romantic love with careers!
