EXCLUSIVE: Ibiza filmmaker Alex Richanbach is set to direct and produce Single at the Wedding through his Something Something Pictures at New Line.
Anne Sundell wrote the script on spec from an original idea and developed alongside Richanbach. In Single at the Wedding, Allie is the last single one of her friends. She makes it her mission to find love at her best friend’s wedding with the help of a list of available men, but it turns out she has competition in the form of the groom’s perfect sister.
Nikki Ramey and Paulina Sussman are overseeing the feature for New Line Cinema.
Richanbach began his career at Funny or Die as a writer/director/producer. His debut feature film We Are Young was released by Funny or Die in 2013.
