Curiosità

Right There is a 2013 American short film written and directed by Nathan Suher. A romantic comedy about unrequited love, the film starred Ryan Hanley, Lauren Kennedy, Andre Boudreau, and Alexandra Cipolla. It was made as a modern-day silent film and intended by the filmmakers as a homage to the genre.

Production

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. Like many of their previous films, Right There was based in Suher's hometown of North Attleboro, Massachusetts.

The idea for Right There was originally conceived by screenwriter Ian Taylor, a longtime writing collaborator, in 2010. The story was further developed by Suher and Capello, however, the project was put on hold as IM Filmworks was then in the process of filming several other short films.

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 and "recapture this golden era of cinema". Suher also liked the idea that a silent film could be universally appreciated by non-English speaking audiences.

Keeping in mind the challenge for the cast to perform in a modern-day silent film, Suher and Capello took great care to look for physical acting ability during casting process. 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. Hanley had previously appeared in two other IM Filmworks comedy shorts, Professional Courtesy and Emergency Plan Omega, in 2011.

The film was shot on an estimated $2,000 budget with a 20-member volunteer cast and crew. The majority of the film's budget was raised on Kickstarter during the spring of 2013. The 30-day campaign started on April 14, 2013, and was successful in raising $1,654, a little over its original $1,500 goal. The donated funds were specifically used to cover equipment rentals, location fees, filming permits, and food for the cast and crew.
