In development since late 2012, My Brother’s Girlfriend was filmed predominantly across New Jersey, with locations in Red Bank, Holmdel, Perrineville, and Matawan. “I have always found the streets of my town, Holmdel, to have a certain cinematic quality to them,” said filmmaker Nicholas Marchese, “This is why I knew I had to shoot this particular film here, it just felt so real.”
In the film, Chad chooses to spend his days sticking to a routine. A hot and cold brotherly feud is balanced with the younger and surprisingly wiser brother, Michael Hensen (Matthew Muscarello). When Eric comes home after graduating college with a surprise girlfriend, Shelby (Kelsey Potkay), two social classes clash in a series of escalating events. Through an uncanny destiny one relationship falls victim to failure and another begins to grow resulting in shattered emotions and the emergence of a new found confidence.
The official My Brother’s Girlfriend’s website www.MBGF-Movie.com went live in mid-August, in conjunction with the release of the movie’s official trailer, which can be seen on the website. The website includes information on the film, cast & crew, production media, sponsors and information on tickets sales. Along with the premiere of the film, a new short documentary by Nicholas Marchese about the The Holmdel Theatre Company’s 25th anniversary will be screened as well. This documentary recounts the history and future of the company and The Duncan Smith Theater.
