\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 Feb. 26, 2013 \u2013 Imagine traveling back in time to 1933, swing dancing in a nightclub during the end of Prohibition. That will be possible Saturday, March 2 at 6 p.m. at the Park Theatre in Cranston for the premiere of the film I\u2019ll Be Seeing You. It was written, directed and produced entirely by 溏心vlog免费B站 film and media students.<\/p>\n


\nRyan Casey, who graduated from 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s film\/media program in December, wrote and directed this film as a semester-long project in Keith Brown\u2019s advanced narrative production class. Most of the short films for this class are only about 10 minutes long, but Casey\u2019s is nearly 50 minutes.<\/p>\n


\nA fan of Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong, Casey has been told many times that he has an \u201cold soul.\u201d He decided to write a script for a film about a young man, Charlie, in the present day who works in his grandfather\u2019s bar. He hits his head while working one night and wakes up to find that he\u2019s been transported 80 years into the past. Similar to The Wizard of Oz, Casey said, Charlie encounters people from his real life when he travels back in time. The film includes moments of suspense, romance and comedy.<\/p>\n


\nCasey wanted the film to accurately represent the 1930s\u2014from the cars to the costumes\u2014which made it somewhat challenging to finance. Casey and his crew created a video campaign using Indiegogo, a crowd-funding website for people to donate to art projects, and raised about $3,000. Casey was able to rent a 1934 Packard limousine and a 1929 Rolls Royce from a local collector who offers his cars for films. The supervisors at the Biltmore Hotel in Providence donated the ballroom for three nights of filming, and the East Greenwich Police Department blocked traffic on Main Street for an overnight shoot outside of the Greenwich Hotel and Greenwich Odeum.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cI feel so blessed and honored to have had this opportunity,\u201d said Casey, a Cranston, R.I. native. \u201cWhether it\u2019s a great success or \u2018Rotten Tomatoes\u2019 gives it a poor ranking, I\u2019m still very proud of the film, and the support I\u2019ve gotten from other people means the most to me.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe premiere was originally scheduled for Feb. 9, but because of Winter Storm Nemo, it was rescheduled for this weekend. Casey expects about 500 people to attend.<\/p>\n


\nTickets can be purchased online in advance for $10 or at the door for $12. To buy tickets, watch the film\u2019s trailer, and learn more about the cast and crew, visit www.illbeseeingyou2012.com.<\/p>\n
