HOW I LIVE NOW premieres in the UK

Fresh from a successful outing at TIFF, Kevin Macdonald's latest feature offering, HOW I LIVE NOW, has opened domestically to rave reviews. Adapted for screen from Meg Rosoff’s young adult novel, the film follows American teenager Daisy, played by Saoirse Ronan, as she struggles to survive in the aftermath of nuclear war.

Penelope Skinner co-writes, alongside Jeremy Brock, Tony Grisoni and Meg Rosoff. Marese Langan acts as Hair & Make-Up Designer, and Agatha A. Nitecka as specials photographer.
