The much talked about Sundance 2015 Film Opener, The Bronze, written and executive produced by Winston and Melissa Rauch will debut in Spring 2016.
Directed by Bryan Buckely, making his directorial debut, the film was executive produced by Melissa and Winston Rauch, Mark Duplass, Jay Duplass, Ryan Buckley, Michael C. Cuddy and Matt Lefebvre with Stephanie Lanhoff producing. The Bronze stars Melissa Rauch and also stars Gary Cole, Thomas Middleditch, Sebastian Stan, Hailey Lu Richardson and Cecily Strong.
The Bronze is about a former Olympic bronze-medal gymnast who after returning home, her life becomes washed up and she elevates herself to the town until a new younger gymnast starts to threaten her status. Rauch plays Hope Greggory (a Tanya Harding-like personna) who is a former Olympian living with her father played by Gary Cole (Office Space). After basking in her former glory, Hope turns into a lazy and foul-mouthed person, trying to regain her former glory in all the wrong ways. She drinks heavily, takes bong rips and then heads out of the house in her warm-up suit to face the day. Without any other training or career goals, she manages to stumble across an opportunity that may just be what she is seeking, or is it? She is asked to coach a local rising gymnast. But as the young athlete begins to gain her own glory, will jealousy rear its ugly green head?

Hope has some pretty limber and tumbling sex scenes with her beau in the film, played by Sebastian Stan(Captain America franchise) and finds a true friend her her childhood pal played by Thoms Middleditch (Silicon Valley) to cheer her through her ups and downs.
