Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden have exited their production banner Arcade Pictures after releasing their first project, according to industry publication Variety.
The company was launched in 2019 by Lowden with producer Dominic Norris. Ronan, who is also engaged to Lowden, joined the company as a director in 2021.
While the couple are stepping down from their roles at the company, they are still backing the debut feature, The Outrun, which is set to make its international premiere at the Berlin Film Festival next week, the outlet revealed. The film had its world premiere at Sundance last month.

“Arcade was trained to produce The Outrun and Dominic will continue to drive that banner’s train,” a spokesperson said.
“Jacques and Saoirse are excited to celebrate the film as it makes its debut and continue to explore more passion projects to develop together in the future.”
In 2022 Arcade Pictures unveiled its first major feature film project, an adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s addiction memoir The Outrun, directed by Nora Fingshet.
Outrun stars Ronan as Rhona, a woman struggling with alcoholism. After losing control of her life, she goes to rehab and then makes a beeline for Scotland’s wild and lonely Orkney Islands, where she reconnects with the dramatic land in which she grew up.
The cast also includes Papa Esidu, Stephen Dillane and Lowden’s Slow Horses co-star Saskia Reeves.
