Synopsis: Rose: A Love Story is a chilling, deeply moving and critically-acclaimed horror thriller starring Sophie Rundle (Peaky Blinders, Jamestown, Bodyguard) and Matt Stokoe (Cursed, Jamestown, Misfits). Gripped by a violent, terrifying illness, Rose lives in seclusion with her husband, but the arrival of a stranger shatters the fragile refuge they have built. The British film premiered at last year's BFI London Film Festival and received strong reviews. It was also nominated for the BIFA Raindance Discovery Award. Sophie Rundle will next be seen in the sixth and final season of Peaky Blinders, which is currently filming. Most recently, Sophie was seen alongside George Clooney in his recent sci fi feature The Midnight Sky. Jennifer is currently filming a big secret TV series and her latest TV directing work The Snow Spider is on I-Player now.
