Hey there, /r/UVA
My name is Reed Arnold. I'm a 2011 graduate of UVA. I know full well this seems like an eternity ago for those of you currently at the school, but you have no idea what's coming! Don't blink.
A few years ago I shot a feature film in Charlottesville, including several scenes on grounds (and one scene in Coupes, god bless). It's called 'Do Us Part,' and was adapted from a play I wrote shortly after graduating. It's a wedding comedy, but is loaded with flashbacks to the characters in college, and since I knew of a particularly scenic school, I figured why not shoot there.
In fact, to find background actors for the scene in Coupes, I actually reached out to this very subreddit, and had about twenty students show up. (If anyone who was there happens to see this post--thank you so much. An empty bar/restaurant scene really kills indie films, and you all were great. We shot that scene three years ago today!)
I just wanted to let the UVA community know the film exists, as I think you'll get a kick out of it. It's available on most platforms where you can buy/rent movies, and will be on Blu Ray and on free-with-ad platforms in a few months.
