“They go away and you still have to live your own life…” The Cinema Guild in NYC has revealed an official trailer for an indie film titled Matt and Mara, an unconventional and awkward romantic comedy made by acclaimed filmmaker Kazik Radwanski. This premiered at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival earlier in the year, and it also played at the Melbourne Film Festival in Australia. A young professor struggles in her marriage, only to meet Matt, a friend from her past who wanders onto her university campus. When Mara’s husband unexpectedly cancels plans to drive her to an out-of-town conference, Matt accompanies Mara on the trip instead. Along the way, the tension surrounding their undefined relationship slowly grows… The film stars Deragh Campbell (who was also in Kazik Radwanski’s last film Anne at 13,000 Ft) and Matt Johnson (also known as the director of BlackBerry and other great Canadian films).
