Director, writer and producer Alex Richanbach, who’s on the commercialmaking/branded content roster at production house Tool, will direct and produce the rom-com feature film Single at the Wedding through his Something Something Pictures for New Line.

Anne Sundell wrote the script on spec from an original idea and developed the film alongside Richanbach. Nikki Ramey and Paulina Sussman will oversee the project for New Line Cinema.

The film introduces us to Allie, the last single person in her group of friends. Allie 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.
