Shalborne with Q&A

In 1905 in rural Devon, a cruel and lonely marriage to Lord Bartlett becomes too much for Helen to bear. Leaving her husband’s ancestral home she treks across Dartmoor pushing her sick and ageing father on a cart. Taking refuge in a deserted barn she's discovered by Lord Shalborne, who offers her temporary shelter on his estate. All intentions of escape are put on hold as Helen and Shalborne allow a connection to flourish between them, but when Shalborne unwittingly mortgages his estate to invest in one of Bartlett’s corrupt investments, Helen becomes a pawn in a gentleman’s game and Shalborne must betray Helen to save his family home. Risking everything to change her circumstances, Helen finds that courage may not be enough to challenge the patriarchal ideals of her time.
The film will be followed by a Q&A with the film's writer, director, producer, and star Caroline Corrie. Shalborne is Caroline's directorial debut, filmed locally in Devon and Somerset and was recently awarded "Best Foreign Feature" at the Female Eye film festival in Toronto. In addition to writing, directing, producing, and acting, Caroline also made the sets and costumes for the film. Caroline will share fascinating insight into the film and her process of pulling off a micro budget production.
