Nina Conti's comedy feature SUNLIGHT will be released in UK cinemas through Miracle Films from 17th October. Digital release will follow on 28th November on all UK platforms.
A dysfunctional road-trip love story between a man on the edge and a woman who doesn’t wanna come out of a monkey suit, SUNLIGHT is directed by Nina Conti and written by and starring Nina Conti and Shenoah Allen. The film was executive produced by Christopher Guest (This is Spinal Tap) and produced by Sam Parker, Will Machin, Keagan Karens and Tabitha McDonald.
SUNLIGHT is a dark and unconventional love story, following two people on the edge of life who find purpose and romance through an unlikely connection, escaping the darkness in search of some sunlight. Sunlight premiered In Competition at the Edinburgh International Film Festival before winning Best New Mexico Narrative Feature at the Santa Fe International Film Festival.
Writer, Director and Actor Nina Conti said: “This feels like a big moment, and we went all-in for seven years to get here. I couldn't be more proud of how original and funny and dark Sunlight is, and Shenoah was such a fiercely creative ally. It's an emotional metaphor in more ways than I can name; a woman trapped in a monkey suit is personal all the way down. We were overjoyed at the response from audiences in the US, the screenings were a riot, and it’s a true thrill to unleash it in the UK to kick some ass.”
