Right There (film)

A romantic comedy about unrequited love, the film starred Ryan Hanley, Lauren Kennedy, Andre Boudreau, and Alexandra Cipolla.

The film follows a shy young man (Ryan Hanley) who one day falls in love with a woman (Lauren A. Kennedy) that he notices on a park bench eating her lunch.

A recurring theme in the film is the young man's daily contact with a nearby flower vendor (Andre Boudreau) who is usually the sole witness to his belated attempts to court the object of his affections.

[1][2][3] Right There was the ninth film produced by IM Filmworks, a local production company owned by director-producers Nathan Suher and Gregory Capello, as part of a series of comedy shorts set in Southern New England.

[6] A fan of silent film stars Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, the project personally appealed to Suher who wished to pay homage to the genre[2][3] and "recapture this golden era of cinema".

[5][7] Ryan Hanley, a local actor, was the first to be cast in the lead role and appeared in Suher's Kickstarter video to raise funds for the film.

The rest of the supporting cast were a mix of amateur and professional actors including Andrew Boudreau, Alexandra Cipolla, Chris Ferreira, Bernie Larrivee, Danielle Mayer, Kelly McCabe, and Chloe Suher.

[6] A week before the fundraiser was to end, an issue arose when the town of North Attleboro required IM Filmworks to pay for a police detail doubling the cost of the film's budget to nearly $2,200.

[9] Filming primarily took place in downtown North Attleboro, prominently featuring local businesses such as Mackie's, Bistro 45, and the Speed of Thought Playhouse,[1] as well as additional locations in Mansfield and Rehoboth, Massachusetts on May 18–19, 2013.

[10] The premier party held at the venue included the first-ever screening of Suher's music video "Precious Time" for American Dreamers, featuring a live performance from the group, a question and answer session with the cast, and a silent auction.

[3] The event raised an estimated $1,000 allowing IM Filmworks to repay town officials for the police detail as well as providing additional revenue for marketing and film festival submissions.
