Brainstorm Media has acquired the U.S. rights to “I’ll Be Right There,” a film produced by Open Swim Founder, Bradley J. Ross. The indie comedy film features Edie Falco, Jeannie Berlin, Charlie Tahan, Kayli Carter, Michael Rapaport, Michael Beach, Sepideh Moafi and Bradley Whitford, and began its theatrical run earlier this month.
“We’re thrilled to debut this film to the world,” says Ross. “This production really celebrates one of our core values at Open Swim which is rebelling against the traditionally singular advertising and entertainment industry where production companies specialize in only one expertise. What’s really exciting about these times is we can proudly answer the traditional client questions: Do you shoot cars? Pharma? Docustyle?, with ‘Yes, we do it all, and we do it at the highest level of talent and with the best artisans in the business.’ Crossing industry lines makes us better filmmakers. It allows us to solve problems others can’t and tell better, more creative and clever stories. Great things happen when we stay open!”
Based on a script by Jim Beggarly, the film stars Edie Falco as Wanda, a woman juggling her pregnant daughter’s wedding, her mother’s death, a wayward son, and her own romantic struggles—only to realize she’s lost herself while caring for everyone else. The film is a production of Open Swim and is distributed by Universal Pictures International outside North America.
