The Cinema Guild Drops Trailer for Matt and Mara

The Cinema Guild in NYC has unveiled the trailer for Matt and Mara, an offbeat and endearing romantic comedy directed by the acclaimed Kazik Radwanski. The film features standout performances from Deragh Campbell and Matt Johnson, promising to deliver a fresh and quirky take on the genre.

Matt and Mara centers around a chance encounter that rekindles an old connection between Mara (played by Deragh Campbell), a young and introspective creative writing professor, and Matt (played by Matt Johnson), a charismatic and free-spirited author. Their unexpected reunion occurs on the university campus where Mara teaches, setting the stage for an unconventional romance.

As Mara navigates the complexities of her strained marriage with an experimental musician, the film explores the evolving dynamics between her and Matt. The plot thickens when Mara’s husband cancels their plans for a conference trip, leaving Matt to accompany her on a road trip. This journey becomes a crucible for their relationship, as the pressures and uncertainties of their growing bond come to the forefront.

Kazik Radwanski, known for his distinctive storytelling and innovative approach to filmmaking, directs and writes the screenplay for Matt and Mara. The story is crafted from an original idea by Samantha Chater, adding another layer of depth and originality to the film. Radwanski's previous work has earned him a reputation for pushing boundaries and exploring complex emotional landscapes, and Matt and Mara appears to continue this tradition.

The film is set to hit theaters on September 13th, 2024, and the newly released trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the film’s unique blend of humor and heart.
