Sarah Brocklehurst on financing and producing The Outrun starring Saoirse Ronan

The Filmmakers Podcast

Ace Producer Sarah Brocklehurst (Black Pond, Animals) chats with Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir about how she made her latest feature 'The Outrun' which stars and was also produced by Saoirse Ronan.

We talk who she got the rights to the book.

How a letter can work and why tenacity is key.

How Saoirse came on board and became a producer along with Jack Lowden.

How she raised the finance.

And how they braved the elements to make The Outrun in Orkney, Scotland.

The Outrun has made over £2M at the box office so far and has earned 9 BIFA nominations!
