Myrne Mac and CJ Beckford Hope to Find Themselves in Romantic Drama 'Arthur & Clara': Exclusive First-Look Images from Austin

They play two young people who flee to a farmhouse in the English countryside in the first screenplay and directing effort by Kieran Bourne, the first feature from producer Candid Broads

Arthur and Clara's character-driven romantic drama, the debut feature of screenwriter and director Kieran Bourne (Polish, I Am Pilates), will receive its world premiere at the Austin Film Festival, which runs from October 29 to November 29. 5.

The indie film, the feature debut from Candid Broads Productions (The Date, Swim Sistas), stars Mirren Mack (28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Hedda) and CJ Beckford (A Thousand Blows, Blitz). Beckford plays a filmmaker, while Mack portrays an actor, who both run away to a farmhouse in hopes of finding themselves. Instead, they realize they just need someone to see them for real.

"Set in the quiet isolation of the British countryside, Arthur and Clara is an intimate exploration of true identity and connection," says Candid Broads.

"Arthur and Clara is a story of real human connection in an increasingly isolated world, and it felt important to me to tell it at a time when most interactions with strangers are no longer face-to-face," Bourne explained. "While it focuses on the bond between two people, the ultimate mission is to show the connection we have to ourselves. It's a story I hope audiences will resonate with for years to come."
