BREAKING: Molly Ratermann has officially wrapped post-production on her directorial debut, “Making a Bridesmaid,” a comedy horror film set for a 2026 festival run. The film, which has been eagerly anticipated, combines elements of humor and horror, likened to “Bodies Bodies Bodies” meets “Bridesmaids,” and is now picture-locked for future announcements.
Filmed in the stunning backdrop of Lake Tahoe, California, this unique project is produced by 741 Films and Little Hand Productions. The narrative follows two outcast sisters, played by Emily Kincaid and Ratermann herself, as they navigate a seemingly innocent bachelorette weekend that quickly escalates into a deadly competition.
In a shocking twist, the sisters find themselves in a real-life murder game, where the stakes are high and survival is key. The film’s ensemble cast also features talents such as Serra Naiman, Wilder Yari, and Alex Sgambati, adding depth and excitement to this thrilling tale.
Ratermann describes “Making A Bridesmaid” as “a wild, fun ride that digs into fakeness, identity, and rivalry.” She emphasizes the film’s goal to spark curiosity among men about female socialization while allowing women to relate and laugh at their own experiences.
The creative team is led by Sabrina Plisco, President of American Cinema Editors (ACE), marking her debut as a producer alongside her role as editor. Cinematographer David Newbert brings his expertise from films like “Willy’s Wonderland” to enhance the film’s visual storytelling.
As “Making A Bridesmaid” prepares for its next steps, including premiere plans and sales representation, audiences are eagerly awaiting this innovative take on female friendship and competition. Ratermann’s blend of comedy and horror promises to resonate with viewers, making it a must-watch in the upcoming festival circuit.
