Plot

A young widow (Rebecca Hall) falls for a New York writer (Jason Sudeikis) who comes to her hometown in rural Maine to investigate the death of her husband, a folk singer.

Cast

Production

On April 19, 2013, it was announced that Sean Mewshaw would direct the romantic comedy on the script of Desiree Van Til; producers would be Kristin Hahn of Indigo Films and Aaron L. Gilbert and Margot Hand of Bron Studios.[4] Jason Sudeikis and Rose Byrne were set to play the lead roles, Sudeikis as a New York writer and Byrne as a young widow.[5] Olivia Munn, Joe Manganiello, Blythe Danner, Michael McKean and Beau Bridges were also set to co-star in the film.[5] On January 30, 2014, Rebecca Hall joined the cast of the film to play the female lead, replacing Byrne as the widow in the film.[6] On March 31, 2014 Dianna Agron, Griffin Dunne and Richard Masur joined the ensemble cast, while filming was underway in Devens.[7]

Filming

In April 2013 the filming was set to begin in October in Vancouver.[4] In addition to Vancouver, filmmaker Van Til looked at shooting in Maine, California and New York. Ultimately she settled on shooting in Massachusetts due to their “robust film incentive program” [9] which would help with the $4 million dollar budget [9]. According to the LA Times, “The Massachusetts Film Office touts a program offering filmmakers who spend more than $50,000 in the state a 25% tax credit to offset the costs of paying actors, building sets and other expenses. It's among the more competitive film incentive programs in the country.” [9]

So, In January 2014 the production was scheduled to begin in late March in Massachusetts.[6] The shooting of the film began on March 23, 2014 in Princeton, Massachusetts.[10][11] Sudeikis was also spotted on the set during the filming.[12] Filming also reportedly took place at New England Studios in Devens.[13][7]

Release

The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 18, 2015.[2] It was released on February 5, 2016, by Starz Digital.[14]
