Director Georgia Oakley (Blue Jean) turns her lens toward Jane Austen’s iconic masterpiece in this highly anticipated 2026 adaptation. Filmed largely on locations across Dorset, it stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles as the Dashwood sisters. The film provides a fresh, witty, and deeply human exploration of love and sisterhood in a world of rigid social expectation. With a screenplay by Diana Reid and a stellar ensemble cast, this production brings a gentle modern sensibility to the classic struggle between the head and the heart.
Special Guest - Eddy Pearce - Location Manager and Scout
